Torres double rescues PSG draw at Rennes

Ferran Torres came off the bench to score a late double on his debut as Paris Saint-Germain rallied from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Rennes in their Ligue 1 season opener.

Sebastian Szymanski gave Rennes a ninth-minute lead when his shot went in off the post, and Esteban Lepaul doubled the advantage seven minutes before halftime with a tap-in from Przemyslaw Frankowski's cross.

PSG piled on the pressure in the second period and were rewarded when Torres, who had been introduced at halftime, scored twice in quick succession to salvage a point for the defending champions. mchezo.co.za
