PARIS (AP) — Defending champion Paris Saint-Germain drew 2-2 at home against Lorient on Saturday to give rival Lens a glimmer of hope in the Ligue 1 title race. A win for second-place Lens at Nice later Saturday would cut PSG's lead to four points with three games remaining, with Lens hosting PSG on May 13. PSG beat Bayern Munich 5-4 earlier this week in a pulsating Champions League semifinal match, and coach Luis Enrique rested goalkeeper Matvei Safonov, midfielder Vitinha and defender Nuno Mendes ahead of Wednesday’s return leg in Germany. Star forward Ousmane Dembélé was on the bench with midfielders Joao Neves and Warren Zaïre-Emery. Teenage forward Ibrahim Mbaye put PSG ahead from close range in the sixth minute when goalkeeper Yvon Mvogo fumbled a cross straight onto him. Poor defending allowed Pablo Pagis to equalize six minutes later with a neat volley past 19-year-old backup goalie . Zaïre-Emery scored immediately after coming in the 62nd with a slightly deflected strike from 20 meters. PSG academy striker Pierre Mounguengue then came on for his first-team debut only to give the ball away with a back pass. It was intercepted by Benin striker , who raced clear and scored with a low shot in off the post in the 77th.
