Viking hold Bayern Munich to a 3-3 Champions League draw


















Viking FK earned a 3-3 draw with Bayern Munich in the Champions League after letting a two-goal lead slip and then scoring a late equalizer.

Viking, from Stavanger, are Norwegian champions; Bayern are the Munich-based German club. The match swung sharply after Viking took an early advantage.

Gianni Stensness headed in a corner after 72 seconds to put the hosts ahead. Peter Christiansen doubled the lead in the 38th minute, finishing a quick attacking move.

Harry Kane helped turn the game around for Bayern, scoring twice and setting up another goal. Bayern went ahead 3-2 in the 71st minute.

Michael Olise was sent off after receiving two yellow cards within a minute. Bayern finished the closing stages with ten players.

Viking made the extra-man advantage count when Herman Haugen scored in the final minute. Captain Zlatko Tripić had supplied the corner for the opener and crossed the ball for the equalizer.

Kane scored in his ninth consecutive Champions League match, matching a Bayern club record set by Robert Lewandowski. Afterward, Tripić said Viking had played an “incredibly solid” match.
