Viking Stavanger produced a memorable Champions League performance on Tuesday, earning their first point in the competition after holding Bayern Munich to a thrilling 3-3 draw.
The Norwegian hosts stunned the visitors with an aggressive opening, as Gianni Stensness headed home inside the first minute. Christiansen then doubled Viking’s advantage just before half-time, punishing Bayern’s defensive vulnerabilities.
However, Vincent Kompany’s side responded impressively after the break. Harry Kane converted a penalty before heading home Joshua Kimmich’s delivery to restore parity. Konrad Laimer subsequently set up Luis Diaz, who completed Bayern’s turnaround with a close-range finish.
The visitors appeared poised to secure victory until Olise received the first red card of his career, leaving Bayern exposed during a tense finale. Viking capitalised on their numerical advantage, with Herman Haugen heading home a dramatic equaliser in stoppage time to secure an unforgettable result on their Champions League debut.
