Paris stage late comeback to avoid defeat in Lille
The reigning champions seemed set to leave with a loss, but made up a two-goal deficit in stoppage time.
Paris Saint-Germain narrowly avoids a disastrous start to the new Ligue 1 season at the last minute.
The French reigning champions and Champions League winners of the last two years trailed OSC Lille 0:2 until stoppage time, but still managed to salvage a 2:2 draw. In their season opener, PSG had already drawn 2:2 against Stade Rennes.
At the "Mastiffs", Enrique's squad trailed after 21 minutes, with Icelander Haraldsson putting the hosts ahead. In the second half, Bakwa extended the lead to 2:0 (84').
Vitinha initiated the late comeback by pulling one back in the first minute of stoppage time (90+1'), and with the last action of the game, Marquinhos even managed to score the equalizer after an assist from the Portuguese player (90+5').
Nevertheless, the start to the season is far from ideal. After winning the UEFA Supercup in Salzburg, PSG lost the French Supercup against cup winners RC Lens and has now started the league with two draws.
