Commentary
And breathe... Full-time arrives in Stavanger as a six-goal Champions League classic ends with the spoils shared between Viking and Bayern Munich. The inspired hosts stunned the visiting German giants as Stensness nodded home from a Tripic corner with 1:11 on the clock. After Bayern launched everything at restoring parity, the patient underdogs pounced on the counter to double their lead with Christiansen's well-taken strike in the 38th minute. Following the break, and three changes from a presumably chastising Kompany, Die Roten quickly made good on their fruitless first half. After a box-bound Laimer was felled in the 53rd minute, Kane grabbed the first goal of what would be a six-minute brace to even things up. His deft header from a Kimmich cross coming as the second, it was quickly apparent that Viking were flailing, especially as Diaz saw a lovely dink ruled out for offside shortly after. Inside the final 20 minutes, Diaz did get his goal as Laimer squared cutely from a clipped Kane ball. Yet, after a needless pair of bookings for the ball-throwing Olise, Viking could sense there was still all to play for. Led by captain and player of the match Tripic, the home pressure was unrelenting in the closing exchanges until Haugen's header bang on 90 sparked a release of sheer jubilation. The home side now sit 26th in the table after a tireless performance saw them play above their 0.56 xG. The much-rotated fourth-placed Bayern will still have defensive frailties on their mind after dropped points tonight, while playing beneath their 3.51 xG leaves plenty to be desired heading the other way. Thanks for joining us. We hope you enjoyed this thrilling contest!
FULL-TIME: VIKING 3-3 BAYERN MUNICH
Velvatne fouls Laimer in the middle and Bayern have a great chance to float into the hosts' box. In it goes, and after an Ito drive, the home side power clear!
CHRISTIANSEN! The hosts want more! The pacey forward is slotted in down the left side of the box, and just as the angle looks too much, he lashes back across and forces a decent blocking save from Urbig!
Into five minutes of stoppage time we go, then.
The inspired fan favourite Tripic continues with another assist. He's got to be the player of the match.
