PSG salvage draw with late Marquinhos goal against Lille
Paris Saint-Germain's defender Marquinhos struck in the closing moments to earn the Ligue 1 champions a 2-2 draw at Lille on Friday. The result extended PSG's inconsistent start to the season after drawing their opening fixture against Rennes.

Marquinhos found the back of the net deep into stoppage time at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy, rescuing a point for the defending champions in what was largely a disappointing performance against their French rivals.
The equaliser capped a frustrating evening for PSG, who struggled to assert their dominance and were fortunate to salvage the result. The draw marked the second consecutive game without a win for the Paris club, raising questions about their form as the campaign gathers pace.
Lille showed resilience and posed persistent problems for the PSG defence throughout the match, keeping the visitors under pressure for extended periods. The hosts' attacking approach prevented the champions from controlling proceedings as they would typically expect.
The result leaves PSG with one win, two draws and zero losses from their opening matches, though their performances have not reflected the standard expected of the reigning Ligue 1 title holders. Coach Christophe Galtier will be seeking to steady the ship in upcoming fixtures.
