Michael Olise received a second yellow card in the Champions League on Tuesday, earning a red card and a one-match ban after a sending-off that changed the outcome of Bayern Munich's match against Viking in Stavanger, Norway. The France international was shown a yellow card for a tactical foul, then threw the ball he was holding at Viking captain Zlatko Tripic's head, drawing a second booking within seconds to cheers from the home crowd.

With Bayern leading 3-2 at the time, the dismissal helped Viking get back into the contest. Tripic crossed for Herman Haugen, who headed in the 90th-minute equalizer for a 3-3 draw. Bayern had trailed 2-0 before Harry Kane scored twice in quick succession in the second half, extending his run to nine straight Champions League games with a goal. Luis Díaz had put Bayern ahead with a third goal just before Olise was sent off.

Kane said Olise will have to take responsibility and learn from the mistake. He predicted his teammate will be "gutted" to miss the upcoming clash with Arsenal next week. "Sometimes mistakes can happen, it's life," Kane said.

The result checks Bayern's momentum after a 5-0 opening win over Bodø/Glimt last month. Kane added that the team should have won on the second-half performance. "You take the point and you move on," he said.
