Kane Laments 'Shameful' Olise Red Card After Bayern Munich Draw With Viking

1 hour ago·1 min

Harry Kane has described Michael Olise's red card as a "shame" after Bayern Munich were held to a surprise draw by Norwegian side Viking, a result the England captain believes his side should never have allowed.

Olise, making his first senior career sending-off, was dismissed during the contest, handing Viking the opportunity to claw their way back into the match and eventually secure an unlikely point against the Bundesliga giants.

The dismissal also carries a one-match ban for the France international, meaning Bayern Munich will be without one of their key attacking options for their next fixture.

Kane was unambiguous in his assessment after the final whistle. The striker made clear that Bayern Munich had more than enough quality to win the game and that Olise's red card proved a decisive turning point — one that ultimately cost his side victory.

"We should have won," Kane stated, reflecting the frustration felt across the Bayern Munich dressing room after being denied what many expected to be a straightforward result.

The draw represents a significant moment for Viking, who showed tremendous resilience to take advantage of their numerical superiority and deny Bayern Munich a result that had seemed well within reach before the red card changed the dynamic of the encounter.

For Bayern Munich, the dropped points will sting, particularly given the circumstances. Losing Olise to suspension for the next match only adds to the challenge facing the squad in the coming days.
