PSG failed to win for the second time in as many Ligue 1 matches on Saturday as they drew 2-2 with Bordeaux at Parc des Princes.
Timothee Pembele inadvertently headed past his goalkeeper following an excellently-delivered corner kick to give Bordeaux the lead in the 10th minute.
PSG were level in the 27th minute after Neymar won and converted a penalty in the 27th minute.
The Brazilian superstar also had a hand in PSG’s second goal as his fierce strike from outside the box was spilled by the Bordeaux goalkeeper, Benoit Costil onto the path of Moise Kean and the young Italian wasted no time in smashing the ball into an unguarded net in the 28th minute.
That PSG did not amass maximum points from the game was of their own making as they missed a plethora of chances to add to their lead before the break.
They were made to pay for their profligacy as Yacine Adli curled in a beauty with the inside of his left foot from outside the box to leave Les Parisiens pondering what might have been.
In the day’s other game, Florian Thauvin  and Dimitry Payet both netted as Olympic Marseille beat Nantes at the Stade Orange Velodrome.

Results
Marseille 3 – 1 Nantes  
Paris Saint-Germain 2 – 2 Bordeaux
