Defending French champions Paris Saint-Germain staged a remarkable comeback, scoring twice in stoppage time to salvage a 2-2 draw against Lille on Friday night.

The match appeared to be slipping away from PSG as Lille held a comfortable 2-0 lead courtesy of goals from Hákon Arnar Haraldsson and Dilane Bakwa. However, the closing moments of the game saw a dramatic shift in momentum.

Vitinha ignited PSG's hopes with a goal just a minute into stoppage time. The equalizer came shortly after, when Marquinhos headed home from a corner, completing the improbable comeback and securing a vital point for the visitors.

This draw marks PSG's second consecutive league match ending in a tie, leaving them with a disappointing two points from their opening two games of the season. Lille, meanwhile, will be frustrated to have let a two-goal lead slip in the dying minutes, despite earning four points from their first two fixtures.
