VIK 3-3 BAY: Match Review And Updated UEFA Champions League Table
Bayern Munich were held to a dramatic 3-3 draw by Viking in the UEFA Champions League league phase on Tuesday, October 13, 2026, according to BBC Sport. Despite Harry Kane’s two goals, the German side failed to secure victory after Herman Haugen scored a last-minute equaliser.
The draw provided Viking with their first point of the competition, while Bayern were left disappointed after losing their lead in the closing moments and missing the opportunity to claim consecutive European wins.
Viking stunned their opponents by scoring within the first minute. Gianni Stensness connected with Zlatko Tripic’s inswinging corner and sent a downward header past Jonas Urbig to give the hosts an early advantage.
The visitors attempted to respond quickly, creating several opportunities as they pushed forward. However, goalkeeper Arild Ostbo stood firm, making important saves to deny both Michael Olise and Luis Diaz.
Viking remained threatening whenever they attacked on the counter and increased their lead in the 38th minute. Peter Christiansen took advantage of a swift forward move to break through Bayern’s defensive line before calmly beating Urbig to make it 2-0.
Although Bayern went into the break two goals behind, they returned for the second half determined to turn the match around. Kane reduced the deficit by converting a penalty within 10 minutes of the restart.
The spot kick was awarded after Kristoffer Haugen mistimed a challenge on Konrad Laimer. Kane made no mistake, sending a low shot beyond Ostbo before scoring again soon afterwards to restore parity.
The England international headed in Joshua Kimmich’s cross at the far post, extending his remarkable run of scoring in nine consecutive Champions League appearances.
Bayern then moved ahead when Kane helped create their third goal. He supplied an accurate pass into the penalty area for Laimer, who cut the ball back across goal and allowed Diaz to finish from close range.
However, the momentum shifted after Olise was dismissed for two yellow-card offences committed within a short period. The winger received his second booking after throwing the ball at Tripic’s face, forcing Vincent Kompany’s side to continue with 10 players.
With a numerical advantage, Viking increased the pressure as they searched for a late equaliser. Their efforts were rewarded in the 90th minute when Tripic sent a deep cross into the penalty area. Haugen arrived at the far post and directed a header into the net, sparking celebrations among the home fans.
Bayern were unable to respond before the referee blew the final whistle. Consequently, the German champions had to settle for a point, while Viking celebrated a valuable draw in a thrilling six-goal Champions League contest.
