Olise sees red as Viking FK hold Bayern in dramatic six-goal stalemate

On a balmy evening in south-west Norway, Bayern Munich were held to a shock draw with Viking FK. Vincent Kompany's battled back to lead despite a two-goal deficit, but Michael Olise's red card enabled the host's to strike late for an historic 3-3 stalemate.

Similar to their woes in the opening seconds against Augsburg last Saturday, Bayern shipped another goal inside just two minutes this evening. Viking FK skipper Zlatko Tripic's corner nodded in by Gianni Stensness, climbing above Kim Min-Jae and Jonathan Tah in the box.

Going slightly more according to the script, Arild Östbö was a busy man between the posts thereafter. The 35-year-old produced a number of strong saves to keep out Konrad Laimer, Michael Olise, Luis Díaz and Harry Kane. Bayern looked to be gaining momentum and fast.

However, their front-footed approach soon went against them six minutes before the break. With all ten outfield players pushed into their host's half, Erik Botheim threaded a neat pass into Peter Christiansen who held off Nathaniel Brown to finish into the bottom right corner.

Making a trio of changes at the interval, Vincent Kompany called upon Upamecano, Davies and Saibari in a bid to turn things around. They did just that when Kristoffer Haugen fouled Laimer, presenting Kane with a penalty which halved the deficit in Stavanger.

Some last-ditch blocks kept the Norwegian side in front past, but Bayern's pressure was unrelenting. As the clock struck an hour, a routine Joshua Kimmich delivery was headed in by Kane lurking at the back post. Now, the travelling Bavarian voices could be heard.

Further drama ensued when Kane and Laimer combined to find Luis Díaz, converting from close range and a crucial lead. That preceded a red card for Michael Olise, picking up a pair of yellow cards for a professional foul followed by lightly tossing the ball into Tripic's face.

With the numerical advantage in their favour for the remaining quarter of an hour, Viking embodied their namesake, marauding forward in waves. They would get their just rewards when Tripic's cross glanced off the head of Herman Haugen which secured a famous draw.
