(Football result) - Ethan Mbappe stood out by scoring a late equalizer, securing a 1-1 draw for Lille against PSG in an exciting Ligue 1 Round 7 game.
The match between Lille and Paris Saint-Germain in Round 7 of Ligue 1 on Sunday night ended in a 1-1 draw, highlighted by a late equalizing goal from Ethan Mbappe, the younger brother of superstar Kylian Mbappe.
Coming off the bench, the 18-year-old made an impact within four minutes. In the 85th minute, after a powerful run on the right flank, Ethan fired a diagonal shot that caught goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier off guard. The ball bounced awkwardly before rolling into the net, earning Lille a valuable point at their home ground, Decathlon Arena.

Earlier, PSG took the lead in the 66th minute thanks to a stunning free-kick from Nuno Mendes. The Portuguese defender struck a perfect left-footed shot from over 30 meters, sending the ball over the wall and into the top corner of the goal.
However, after scoring, the capital club missed several chances to seal the victory. Lee Kang-in, Hakimi, and Goncalo Ramos all had opportunities but failed to convert. As PSG slowed down, Lille intensified their efforts through Giroud and Bentaleb, before Ethan Mbappe delivered the most emotional moment of the game.
Ethan, who previously played for PSG's youth teams before moving to Lille, is gradually establishing himself and stepping out of his famous brother's shadow. This was his second goal for Lille, but likely the most memorable of his career so far.
This draw helps Lille temporarily rise into the top group, while PSG continues to show inconsistency despite being the reigning Ligue 1 champions. It was a memorable night for the Mbappe family name as it appeared on the scoreboard again, but this time in a different jersey.
