🇫🇷 PSG forced to split the points in draw with Reims | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain were forced to split the points at the Parc des Princes after a 1-1 draw with Reims.

Scorers: Dembélé 47'; Nakamura 56'

Fans would have expected the hosts to dominate against 12th-place Reims and while they did, Luis Enrique's side were made to work for a goal on Saturday.

All eyes were on Khvicha Kvaratskhelia as the former Napoli man made his debut in PSG colours and he eventually made an impact for his new club.

The hosts pulled the strings in the opening 45 minutes with 76% possession of the ball but only three shots on target to show for it. So when they returned afterward with a new hunger.

And that's when the Georgian shone. Kvaratskhelia danced past four or five Reims players who were left in the dust and sent the ball to Ousmane Dembélé whose shot was deflected into the net.

But just as PSG thought the floodgates would open, the visitors hit on the break for the equaliser.

Junya Ito ran with the ball along the left wing and cut it back into the box. It eventually found a lurking Keito Nakamura, who curled home beyond goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.

The visitors will be proud to have taken their one chance when it arrived, as the introductions of Bradley Barcola, Marco Asensio and the like failed to introduce a spark for PSG despite 18 shots to six.

The result means the club from the capital holds a 10-point lead at the top with their fifth draw in Ligue 1, while Reims earned a crucial point.
