Ferran Torres rescued a point for Paris Saint-Germain on his debut, scoring twice in the final minutes to salvage a 2-2 draw against Rennes in the Ligue 1 season opener. The hosts led 2-0 at half-time through Sebastian Szymanski and Esteban Lepaul, but PSG piled on the pressure in the second period and were rewarded with a point.

Rennes took the lead inside nine minutes when Szymanski's shot went in off the post.
