Paris Saint-Germain could only manage a 1-1 draw in their visit to Reims, salvaged by a brief but impactful appearance from Ousmane Dembélé, who came off the bench to score and prevent the current champions from suffering their first defeat of the season.

After a perfect start in all competitions, including a recent Champions League victory over Girona (1-0), PSG entered the Stade Auguste-Delaune with confidence, aiming for their fifth Ligue 1 win.

Reims opened the scoring thanks to a Japanese connection between Ito and Nakamura, where a cross from Ito found Nakamura, who turned and fired past the static Marquinhos and goalkeeper Safonov.

Dembélé's introduction proved decisive when, with twenty minutes left, he finished a dangerous cross from João Neves from a tight angle, beating Diouf. The Reims goalkeeper could do nothing to stop it, and PSG breathed a sigh of relief, though not completely satisfied.

Now, the dropped points provide Marseille with an opportunity to level with Luis Enrique's side at the top of the table; if they win against Lyon on Sunday, both teams will share the lead in France.
