Ten-Man Bayern Held to Dramatic 3-3 Draw by Resilient Viking FK

Ten-man Bayern Munich suffered a late collapse as Norwegian underdogs Viking FK snatched a sensational 3-3 draw in a UEFA Champions League thriller at the Viking Stadion.

The hosts stunned Vincent Kompany’s side by rushing into a 2-0 halftime lead. Gianni Stensness opened the scoring in the second minute with a towering header, before Peter Christiansen finished a clinical counter-attack in the 38th minute.

Bayern rallied fiercely after the interval, inspired by talisman Harry Kane. The English striker converted a penalty in the 54th minute, headed home an equalizer six minutes later, and then set up Luis Diaz in the 71st minute to complete a staggering 3-2 turnaround.

However, the game turned on its head in the 73rd minute when Bayern winger Michael Olise was sent off for a reckless second yellow card. Viking capitalized on the numerical advantage and threw everything forward.

Their relentless pressure paid off in the 90th minute when substitute defender Herman Haugen powered home a dramatic equalizer. The result secures an historic European point for Viking, while leaving heavyweights Bayern to regret a costly lack of discipline.
