13 Oct 2026Viking 3-3 Bayern: Kane brace, Haugen’s late leveller
Viking FK and FC Bayern München shared a dramatic 3-3 in Stavanger, with the Norwegian side snatching a 90-minute equaliser at Lyse Arena. Bayern dominated the ball and chance quality, yet Viking made every key moment count. The visitors were also reduced to 10 men when Michael Olise received a second yellow at 73 minutes.

How the 3-3 unfolded
Viking landed the first punch almost from kickoff. Gianni Stensness met a Zlatko Tripić corner in the second minute and headed in for 1-0. The home side doubled the lead on 38 minutes when Peter Christiansen finished a fast break after neat link play from Erik Botheim. At halftime it was 2-0, and Bayern had plenty to discuss in the dressing room. The restart brought immediate change as Konrad Laimer won a penalty that Harry Kane converted on 54 minutes. Six minutes later it was 2-2, Kane rising to head in from a Joshua Kimmich cross. Bayern flipped the score to 2-3 on 71 minutes, with Luis Díaz finishing a well-worked move assisted by Laimer. Then came the twist: Michael Olise picked up a yellow and a quick second yellow at 73 minutes, leaving Bayern with 10. Viking kept crossing and pushing, and in the 90th minute Herman Johan Haugen arrived at the back post to turn in Tripić’s delivery for 3-3.
It was a match full of momentum swings. Viking owned the first half, Bayern the second. The late equaliser fit the theme: crosses at one end, composure at the far post. Credit to both for finding three very different goals apiece.
What the stats say
Bayern carried 65% possession and posted 25 total shots to Viking’s 8, underlining the visitors’ control. Expected goals told a similar story, with Bayern at 3.51 xG to Viking’s 0.56. The visitors lived in the box, registering 50 touches in the area compared to Viking’s 14. Corners ended 15-7 to Bayern, while crosses were 7 of 23 accurate for Bayern and 5 of 24 for Viking. Thirteen Bayern shots were blocked, a nod to Viking’s penalty-box resilience. Passing volume was also one-sided, with Bayern completing 498 of 566 passes and Viking 210 of 284. Final third phase success tilted red too, Bayern completing 251 of 292 actions in that zone. Even so, Viking won 55% of duels and completed 26 tackles to Bayern’s 9.
Defensive grit kept Viking in range. The hosts produced 39 clearances to Bayern’s 20 and made 10 interceptions to Bayern’s 8. Goalkeeping also mattered: Arild Østbø made five saves and prevented 0.61 goals based on shot quality, while Jonas Urbig finished at -0.83. It all fed the final curveball on the scoreboard.
Viking’s plan and execution
Set up in a 4-3-3, Viking were direct and disciplined, leaning on wide supply and fast breaks. Tripić was the creative hub, slinging 19 crosses with four finding targets and assisting two goals. His deliveries produced the opening header for Stensness and the 90-minute leveller for Haugen. Christiansen put in a two-way shift, scoring with one of two shots on target and registering an 8.2 Sofascore Rating. Kristoffer Askildsen added bite and ball wins in midfield, leading Viking in tackles alongside hard running. At the back, Henrik Sælebakke Falchener blocked six shots and cleared 10 times, while Stensness combined his early goal with six clearances and two tackles.
When chances came, Viking were efficient, converting their two big chances and picking moments to counter. They finished with 39 clearances and 44 recoveries, evidence of a low block that held up under pressure. Østbø’s five saves were timely, and his 0.6068 goals prevented told their own tale. The bench also delivered, with Haugen subbed on at 72 minutes and scoring the vital late goal. All told, Viking’s average Sofascore Rating ended higher on the night than Bayern’s, 7.11 to 6.91, a nod to clutch plays and defending in volume.
Bayern’s response and sheer volume
Vincent Kompany’s 4-2-3-1 produced waves of pressure after the break. Joshua Kimmich orchestrated the tempo, completing 85 of 92 passes with seven crosses and three key passes, plus the assist for 2-2. Laimer was a constant outlet on the right, creating a big chance, assisting Díaz for 2-3 and winning the penalty for 2-1. Bayern racked up 25 shots, 8 on target, and 15 corners, pushing Viking deeper by the minute. Substitutions at halftime signaled urgency, with Alphonso Davies and Dayot Upamecano adding thrust and ball progression. Tom Bischof backed the attack with 63 accurate passes, four total shots and steady box entries.
The key moments still revolved around Kane. His penalty and near-post header flipped the game in just six minutes. Díaz’s high finish from close range felt like a winner at 71 minutes, yet the late concession proved costly. Olise’s dismissal at 73 minutes did not blunt the shot count, but it removed one creative outlet for the final push. Bayern finished with more of everything except the number that matters.
MVP: Harry Kane’s centre-forward clinic
By Sofascore Rating, Harry Kane led the field at 9.2. He scored twice, first from the spot and then with a classic striker’s header, and still had time to thread four key passes. His shot profile was elite on the night, with 5 total attempts and 4 on target. The underlying numbers back it up, with 1.5775 expected goals and 2.0451 expected goals on target. Kane’s link play was clean too, completing 17 of 20 passes and a perfect 5 of 5 long balls. He battled effectively, winning four aerials and drawing fouls in traffic. With only 32 touches, his economy stood out. When Bayern needed a route back into the match, their No. 9 provided it, twice.
Player of the Match
By Sofascore Rating, the top performer was Harry Kane with a 9.2. Fans agreed, voting Kane as their pick with 4452 votes out of 6373. Rating and supporters aligned on the same player.
