Bayern Held by Viking After 'Super Dumb' Olise Red in Champions League
Harry Kane scored twice and set up another, but Michael Olise’s red card left Bayern with 10 men and opened the door for a late equalizer.
On Tuesday, Bayern Munich forward Michael Olise was sent off after receiving two yellow cards within seconds during a Champions League match against Viking in Stavanger, Norway.
Referee Georgi Kabakov issued the first yellow for a tactical foul, then immediately showed a second after Olise threw the ball at Viking captain Zlatko Tripic's head.
Bayern manager Vincent Kompany called the dismissal "super dumb," noting Olise regrets letting the team down and expressing sympathy for the forward's remorse.
Following the red card, Viking substitute Herman Haugen scored the equalizer, securing a 3-3 draw after Bayern had led 3-2 before the dismissal.
Olise will miss Bayern Munich's next Champions League clash against Premier League champions Arsenal next week due to the suspension from the dismissal.
The Münchner were already 0:2 behind and led 3:2, before Michael Oise had to go to yellow-red from the square. Barcelona, however, did not give up any nakedness and won as well as Arsenal and Atletico Madrid.
