FC Bayern Draws 3-3 at Viking Stavanger in Champions League

FC Bayern Munich drew 3-3 against Viking Stavanger in the Champions League after a dramatic away match in Norway, where Harry Kane scored twice for Bayern, Luis Díaz added another goal, and Michael Olise was sent off before the hosts equalized.

According to Welt, Viking scored through Gianni Stensness after 2 minutes and Peter Christiansen in the first half. Bayern recovered with Kane's penalty and header, Díaz's goal, and then conceded after Olise's 74th-minute dismissal.

Bayern coach Vincent Kompany said the team had waited until the final moment before deciding player availability ahead of the match against Viking. Manuel Neuer and Aleksandar Pavlovic were unavailable because of medical issues, according to Bild.

"We waited very precisely until the last moment to be sure which players had this energy for today. Manuel cannot play for medical reasons. Pavlovic actually cannot either," said Vincent Kompany, Bayern Munich head coach.

Kompany also explained that Pavlovic's injury was not considered serious and that the midfielder was expected to return to training soon. Tom Bischof replaced him in the lineup.

"It is not serious. And hopefully they will train again Thursday, Friday again. But for this game it was simply too early. And then of course you have a few decisions that are already very logical," said Vincent Kompany, Bayern Munich head coach.

After the match, Kompany criticized Bayern's defensive mistakes as the team missed another chance for victory following a 2-2 draw against Augsburg, according to Welt.

"It is our own fault," said Vincent Kompany, Bayern Munich head coach.

Kompany described Bayern's problems as repeated lapses in concentration during the match and in the previous league fixture.

"Total concentration errors," said Vincent Kompany, Bayern Munich head coach.

The coach continued to point to decision-making issues after Bayern conceded early and later lost control after the sending-off.

"We were simply not smart, not against Augsburg, not today," said Vincent Kompany, Bayern Munich head coach.

He added that the red card situation made Bayern's task more difficult during the final stages of the match.

"We shot ourselves in the foot with this red card," said Vincent Kompany, Bayern Munich head coach.

Kane extended his Champions League scoring run with goals in his ninth consecutive appearance in the competition. According to Welt, only Cristiano Ronaldo's streak of 11 matches is longer.

"If you make such big mistakes, you will be punished, and that is exactly what happened today," said Harry Kane, Bayern Munich forward.

Kane also addressed Olise's dismissal after the French player threw the ball at former Fürth player Zlatko Tripic following provocations.

"I know Michael will be totally down now," said Harry Kane, Bayern Munich forward.

The Bayern striker said Olise would have to respond to the incident after the match.

"He will have to take responsibility for it," said Harry Kane, Bayern Munich forward.

Konrad Laimer highlighted Bayern's poor start after Viking scored within 71 seconds, the earliest goal of the Champions League season according to Welt.

"That cannot happen to us," said Konrad Laimer, Bayern Munich midfielder.
