Reims Holds PSG and Kvara to a Draw
In a tightly contested match, Reims managed to hold Paris Saint-Germain to a 1-1 draw, despite Khvicha Kvaratskhelia recording his first assist for the Parisian club. The Georgian winger’s contribution wasn’t enough to secure a win, as PSG showed signs of fatigue following their dramatic victory over Manchester City in the Champions League.
The first half ended goalless, but Kvaratskhelia made an immediate impact after the break, setting up Ousmane Dembélé for the opening goal in the 47th minute. This marked Dembélé’s first time scoring in four consecutive Ligue 1 matches.
However, Reims responded swiftly, with Keito Nakamura scoring his 8th goal of the season on a quick counterattack. The Japanese forward’s clinical finish ensured the hosts earned a valuable point against the league leaders.
