In the opening match of the Ligue 1 season, Paris Saint-Germain salvaged a 2-2 draw against Rennes on Sunday. Rennes took control early in the game, with Sebastian Szymanski scoring in the ninth minute after his shot deflected off the post. The home side extended their lead before halftime through a goal by Esteban Lepaul, putting PSG in a difficult position heading into the break.

PSG increased their offensive pressure throughout the second half. The team initially thought they had equalized through a goal by Désiré Doué, but the effort was disallowed by officials due to an offside ruling. Ferran Torres, making his debut for the club after coming off the bench, eventually provided the necessary spark for the visitors. Torres scored two late goals to erase the deficit and secure a point for PSG.

The match highlighted a strong start for Rennes, who dominated the first half, contrasted with a resilient second-half performance from PSG. While the final result was a draw, the game was marked by the tactical shift that allowed PSG to overcome a 2-0 disadvantage in the closing stages of the match.
