Kane Wins Player of the Match as Bayern Draw 3-3 With Viking

Bayern Munich salvaged a 3-3 draw against Viking in the Champions League after falling two goals behind, but a late defensive lapse prevented Vincent Kompany's team from securing victory in Norway. Harry Kane scored twice and received Player of the Match honors for his role in the comeback, while Michael Olise's dismissal in the second half left the visitors unable to protect their lead.

According to reports from Bavarian Football Works and Yahoo Sports Canada published October 13, 2026, Viking took control early through Gianni Stensness, who scored after two minutes, before Peter Christiansen extended the hosts' advantage late in the first half. Bayern held 66% possession but struggled to turn its control of the ball into effective attacking opportunities before the break.

Kane converted a penalty in the 54th minute and scored again six minutes later to bring Bayern level. Luis Diaz then completed the turnaround in the 71st minute, assisted by Konrad Laimer. However, Herman Haugen equalized in the 90th minute, leaving Bayern with one point despite registering 25 shots, according to Yahoo Sports Canada.

Kane's performance also strengthened his position among the Champions League's most prolific scorers. According to World Soccer Talk, his two goals increased his career total in the competition from 55 to 57, drawing him level with Thomas Muller in tenth place on the all-time list.

The England international has scored 36 Champions League goals in 40 appearances for Bayern since joining the club in 2023. He previously scored 21 goals in 32 appearances for Tottenham, giving him 57 goals across his Champions League career at the time of the match.

World Soccer Talk reported that Cristiano Ronaldo leads the competition's all-time scoring chart with 141 goals, followed by Lionel Messi with 129 and Robert Lewandowski with 109. Karim Benzema has 90, while Raul and Kylian Mbappe have 71 each. Ruud van Nistelrooy has 60, and Andriy Shevchenko and Erling Haaland have 59 apiece, ahead of Kane and Muller on 57.

Kane is also the highest-scoring English player in Champions League history and holds the English single-season scoring record with 14 goals in the 2025/26 campaign, according to World Soccer Talk.

Bayern's defensive problems remained a major concern after the match. Yahoo Sports Canada reported that goalkeeper Jonas Urbig, who replaced Manuel Neuer, conceded three goals from five shots on target and made two saves. The visitors also struggled to contain Viking's counterattacks during a disjointed first half.

Kompany made three substitutions at halftime, introducing Alphonso Davies, Dayot Upamecano and Ismael Saibari. The changes helped Bayern increase its attacking intensity, with Davies providing greater pace on the flank and Upamecano adding stability to the defense.

Michael Olise was sent off in the 74th minute after throwing the ball into a Viking player's face, according to Bavarian Football Works. His dismissal reduced Bayern's numbers during the closing stages and complicated the team's efforts to preserve its advantage.

Kompany later introduced Josip Stanisic for Diaz in the 77th minute in an attempt to protect the lead. The defensive adjustment did not prevent Haugen's late equalizer, leaving Bayern to reflect on a match in which Kane's two goals and the second-half revival were insufficient to secure all three points.
