PLAYER RATINGS | Lille 2-2 PSG: Marquinhos rescues point with last-gasp header

PLAYER RATINGS | Lille 2-2 PSG: Marquinhos rescues point with last-gasp header Ligue 1 McDonald’s, Matchweek 2, 28/08/2026 Davide Ancelotti’s Lille OSC were seconds from registering a huge scalp, but would see their 2-0 lead disappear as Paris Saint-Germain rescued a point. The Match Lille couldn’t have asked for a better start when Hákon Arnar Haraldsson rifled home the opener into the top right corner in the 21st minute, assisted by Olivier Giroud. In truth, it had been coming as Les Dogues pressed and harried PSG and hit them with startling speed in transition and carved open opportunities.  PSG, of course, had their chances. The talent they have on the pitch means that they’ll always have opportunities. Achraf Hakimi had the possibility to slip the ball into the open net early on, but miscued his chance, sending it wide. While Fabian Torres had a trilogy of close-range efforts that he should have put away.  At half-time, Luis Enrique would make what is becoming his now customary substitution, as Désiré Doué was replaced by Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. With Kvaratskhelia on the pitch, the threat from PSG felt more evenly spread.  The second half saw Lille retreat further into their half, rarely pressing with the same ferocity as in the first half. Instead, they conserved their energy, defending in a low block, as PSG dominated the ball and cranked up the pressure.  Against the run of play, Giroud had an excellent chance to double the lead when he leapt to meet Tiago Santos’s cross, but he headed the effort straight into the ground, and its bounce would take it over the crossbar.  Six minutes before time, the substitute Dilane Bakwa would give Lille the bit of breathing space they desperately craved, with a statement goal on his debut. The winger on loan from Nottingham Forest created a moment’s separation from Lucas Digne, and curled his effort into the top left corner. PSG would have the deficit in injury time, with a wonder goal from Vitinha to spark one last desperate push to rescue a point. And like last weekend, Les Parisiens would come from two goals down to save their blushes, as Marquinhos, with the last touch of the game, headed home. Lille Player Ratings Berke Özer, 5 Romain Perraud, 3 Alexsandro, 5 Nathan Ngoy, 5 Tiago Santos, 7 Benjamin André, 6 The captain was back in the line-up after he missed the opener due to suspension. He had a good game and was a defensive menace (as usual). However, Davide Ancelotti couldn’t risk keeping him on the pitch once he picked up a yellow. Nabil Bentaleb, 7 Félix Correia, 6 Hákon Arnar Haraldsson, 8 Like against Angers, Haraldsson set the pace for the team with a tireless work rate. Only two games in, but it feels like it could be the season we’ve been waiting for since his move to France. His reward was a brilliant goal. Ethan Mbappé, 7 He clearly enjoys playing against his former team and looked very up for the game. His fluidity is such a boon to Davide Ancelotti. Olivier Giroud, 7 PSG Player Ratings Matvey Safonov, 6 A good performance from the goalkeeper to keep Lille at bay for most of the game. Warren Zaïre-Emery, 4 Willian Pacho, 4 Marquinhos, 6 Hakimi, 4 Fabián Ruiz, 4 Lucas Beraldo, 4 Vitinha, 6 Désiré Doué, 3 A really disappointing performance from the winger. He was completely uninvolved in the game and was swiftly taken off. Replaced at half-time by Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (4) . Ferran Torres, 4 He had been the star last weekend, rescuing the result, but tonight would be nowhere near as good. Always in the right place, but his finishing was left wanting… he could have and should have had a hat-trick. Maghnes Akliouche, 4 GFFN | Nick Hartland
