PSG Late Rescue, Bayern Start Strong

Paris Saint-Germain's struggles continued as they were held to a 2-2 draw by Ligue 1 rivals Lille. The Ligue 1 champions were heading for defeat when Icelandic playmaker Hákon Haraldsson gave Lille the lead in the 21st minute, curling a brilliant shot past goalkeeper Matvei Safonov following a reverse pass from Olivier Giroud. However, PSG were rescued by defender Marquinhos who scored deep into stoppage time to snatch a scarcely deserved point.

Meanwhile, Bayern Munich made an emphatic statement in their Bundesliga opener by overwhelming Stuttgart 5-1 at the Allianz Arena. The Bavarian giants' flying start provides a stark contrast to PSG's inconsistent start to the season, which now includes two consecutive draws following their 2-2 stalemate with Rennes on the opening weekend. afsport.lat
