Viking, who were in Norway’s second tier as recently as 2018, scored two first-half goals to take control before England captain Harry Kane equalised with a penalty and back-post header.

Luis Diaz gave Bayern the lead with a tap-in but Michael Olise was sent off shortly after for two yellow cards in the same phase of play, including throwing the ball in a Viking player’s face.

That gave Viking, who are playing in Europe’s top competition for the first time since 1992-93, renewed energy.

They were the better team after the red card and got a deserved equaliser when substitute Herman Haugen headed home at the back post.

Viking, who have two head coaches in Morten Jensen and Bjarte Lunde Aarsheim, are joint top of the Norweigan top flight with Bodo/Glimt, with eight games remaining.
