Toulouse 1-1 PSG: Mbappe scores on PSG return but not enough to get victory

Kylian Mbappe came off the bench to score a penalty but Paris Saint Germain were held to a 1-1 draw by Toulouse FC at Stadium de Toulouse in Ligue 1. 

The Parisians were ponderous in possession in the first half, much like during last week's 0-0 draw with Lorient, but that all changed after Mbappe and debutant Ousmane Dembele came on after 50 minutes.

Mbappe soon won a penalty, being tripped by Rasmus Nicolaisen after dropping his shoulder and cutting inside the Dane. Mbappe dispatched the spot kick himself.

Mbappe nearly set up Goncalo Ramos' first goal in a PSG shirt, but the Portuguese missed the ball after good interplay between the two, and Dembele slipped when he had the goal gaping.

Those missteps came back to haunt PSG because, with little more than five minutes left, Ashraf Hakimi inadvertently tripped Zakaria Aboukhlal in the box. A penalty was given and Aboukhlal followed Mbappe's lead, scoring the spot kick himself to ensure it finished all square.

PSG's best chance of the seven added minutes fell to Hakimi, following good work on the right by Dembele, but he could not head on-target.

Winless after two games, PSG are eighth in the table. Toulouse have twice as many points, four, and sit third.
