Mbappe scores upon return, but Toulouse holds PSG to a 1-1 draw.

Paris St. Germain's Kylian Mbappe scored from the penalty spot 11 minutes into his comeback, but the Ligue 1 champions were forced to settle for a 1-1 draw at Toulouse on Saturday.

 

Just past the hour mark, Mbappe came off the bench to score from the penalty spot, but Toulouse responded four minutes later with a penalty of their own through Zakaria Aboukhlal.

Mbappe was brought back into PSG's starting lineup after missing their season opener against Lorient and being kept out of the main group for weeks due to a prolonged contract dispute.

Following his transfer from Barcelona, Ousmane Dembele also made his debut when he came off the bench.

Early in the second half, the visitors' Warren Zaire-Emery, a midfielder who is 17 years old, had the ball in the back of the net, but it was called back for offside.

PSG were awarded their penalty on 58 minutes when Rasmus Nicolaisen brought down Mbappe in the box and following a Video Assistant Referee check, the latter buried his spot kick.

Toulouse were awarded their penalty as Achraf Hakimi fouled Aboukhlal and the latter got up to earn his side a deserved point.

In Saturday's earlier game, new signing Mousa Al-Tamari scored a brace of goals as Montpellier cruised to a 4-1 win at Lyon.

Al-Tamari moved to the French south coast from Belgian top-flight side OH Leuven at the start of the season and scored either side of halftime for a dominant Montpellier.

The visitors took the lead through Arnaud Nordin on 20 minutes, before Al-Tamari's brace put them in the driving seat.

Lyon pulled one back through captain Alexandre Lacazette to give coach Laurent Blanc's side some hope, but when he received a straight red card for a wild kick at Teji Savanier, it quickly faded again.

Another new signing, Akor Adams, scored the fourth for Montpellier with his third goal in two games this season.
