Bayern Munich endured a frustrating evening in the Champions League, throwing away a chance to secure victory after fighting back from two goals down to lead 3-2, only for Viking to snatch a dramatic 3-3 draw in the closing moments.For the second match in a row, Vincent Kompany's side found itself chasing the game almost immediately. Although the setback did not come quite as quickly as their recent encounter with Augsburg, Bayern were caught sleeping just over a minute after kickoff.Tripic delivered a corner into the box, and Gianni Stensness rose above Jonathan and Kim to power a header into the net and give the hosts an early advantage.Viking took just TWO minutes to score against Bayern. 🔥 They wanted to give Bayern a grand welcome. https://t.co/o7KAd6LJUK— RazedFootball (@RazedFootball) October 13, 2026 Viking's strength from set pieces had been highlighted before the match, making Bayern's inability to deal with the opening corner particularly concerning. The German giants struggled to find their rhythm afterward, and their wastefulness in front of goal only added to their problems.Things went from bad to worse in the 38th minute when a turnover left Bayern exposed. Erik Botheim spotted Christiansen making a run forward and played an excellent long pass into his path. Brown was left isolated, with little support from the centre-backs, and could do nothing to prevent the Danish attacker from racing through and calmly doubling Viking's lead.##NAJAVA_MECA_10027781##Having watched his team deliver a deeply disappointing first-half performance, Kompany decided to make three changes before the restart. Lennart Karl, Brown and Tah were all substituted, with Saibari, Alphonso Davies and Upamecano entering the contest. Karl had contributed very little, while Brown and Tah had both been involved in costly defensive mistakes.Bayern eventually found a way back into the match in the 54th minute. Viking's aggressive approach proved costly when Laimer was brought down inside the penalty area, giving Kane the opportunity to reduce the deficit from the spot. The England captain made no mistake, sending the ball into the net to make it 2-1 and breathe new life into the visitors' comeback hopes.##EDITORS_CHOICE##The momentum had shifted, and Bayern needed just six more minutes to level the score. Kimmich delivered a dangerous cross into the area, where Kane once again demonstrated his aerial ability, directing a powerful header past the goalkeeper for his second goal of the night.Luis Diaz thought he had completed Bayern's turnaround almost immediately afterward, but his celebrations were cut short by an offside decision. The Colombian would have to wait a little longer for his moment.That moment finally arrived in the 71st minute. Kane turned provider with a superb diagonal ball toward Laimer, who kept the move alive by laying it off for Diaz. The winger finished the move to put Bayern 3-2 ahead, capping a remarkable turnaround and ending what had been a difficult evening for him personally.Viking held 10-man Bayern to a 3-3 draw in Norway 🇳🇴🤯 Viking were 2-0 up, but Kane's penalty and header and a Luis Díaz goal turned it around. Olise was sent off for two yellows in a minute, and Haugen headed a 90th-minute equaliser. https://t.co/mwPURe8GKF— 90 Plus (@90PlusHQ) October 13, 2026 However, just when Bayern appeared to have taken control, Michael Olise handed Viking a lifeline. The Frenchman received his second yellow card after throwing the ball toward Tripic and striking the Viking player in the face. His dismissal left the visitors with 10 men and made protecting their narrow advantage considerably more difficult.The consequences became painfully clear in the final minute of normal time. Bayern lost possession in their own half on two occasions, with both Laimer and Kane unable to retain the ball amid appeals for a possible foul. Viking seized the opportunity, and Tripic delivered an outstanding cross toward Haugen.The right-back timed his run perfectly, rose above Davies and sent a header into the net to make it 3-3, sparking wild celebrations and completing one of the most extraordinary finishes of this Champions League campaign.2' – Viking 1-0 Bayern Munich 38' – Viking 2-0 Bayern Munich 54' – Viking 2-1 Bayern Munich 60' – Viking 2-2 Bayern Munich 71' – Viking 2-3 Bayern Munich 90' – Viking 3-3 Bayern Munich An incredible point for the Norwegian side against the German champions! 👏 https://t.co/JOcPkBow13— Football Insider (@footyinsider247) October 14, 2026 Bayern had overcome their disastrous start, erased a two-goal deficit and even moved in front, only to let victory slip away at the last possible moment. Neither the artificial playing surface nor the obvious difference in squad depth could explain away the result. On a night when the German giants repeatedly fell short, Viking's determination, intensity and refusal to surrender proved decisive in producing a result their supporters will remember for years to come.UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 2TuesdayLens – Sporting Lisbon 0-2 (0-1)/Suarez 22, Doumbia 74/Sabah Baku – Slavia Prague 2-0 (0-0)/Parris 49, Mickels 88/Arsenal – Lille 3-0 (0-0)/Timber 64, Eze 67, Saka 71/Atl.
