Paris Saint-Germain's (PSG) winless streak in Ligue 1 continued after a 1-1 draw against Toulouse on Saturday, August 19.
Toulouse looked to break a dreadful streak against Les Parisiens, having lost the past seven games in a row against the defending champions.
PSG, on the other hand, looked to avoid going winless for the first two games of the season for the first time since the 2020-21 season. Manager Luis Enrique had a bit of an injury crisis on his hands, with the likes of Juan Bernat, Presnel Kimpembe and Nuno Mendes out due to injury. Kylian Mbappe made the bench after a tumultuous transfer window.
The game started out as a bit of a dull affair, with PSG controlling the ball but failing to produce notable chances. The first of them fell to Goncalo Ramos who should have found the back of the net from inside the box.
Toulouse then had a chance of their own, with Mikkel Desler firing over the bar before Kang-in Lee hit the side netting.
The second half saw the introductions of Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele. Mbappe had an instant impact, winning a penalty before scoring the spot-kick to give his side the lead.
PSG continued to create chances but were unable to add to the score-sheet.
They were made to pay late in the game when Achraf Hakimi fouled Zakaria Aboukhlal in the box. The Toulouse forward stepped up and scored the penalty to level the scores.
Luis Enrique's men are still without a win in Ligue 1, opening with two draws. Here are the player ratings.
