Edinson Cavani to the rescue for Paris Saint-Germain

Edinson Cavani scores on his first start for Paris Saint-Germain to salvage a point from their home encounter with Ajaccio.

Edinson Cavani has struck late to rescue a point for Paris Saint-Germain in their first home fixture of the Ligue 1 season against Ajaccio.

In his first start for the club, the Uruguayan striker produced a trademark finish with three minutes remaining to spare Parisian blushes at the Parc des Princes.

Fabrizio Ravanelli's men silenced the home fans in the 10th minute when Benoit Pedretti found the back of the net from 20 yards with their first shot on goal.

Laurent Blanc's men dominated thereafter, but tension was fraught as they desperately sought the equaliser.

The fans had to wait until the 87th minute when their new £54m man created a yard of space on the edge of the area before firing past an inspired Guillermo Ochoa.

In the end, the hosts might have won it had it not been for Jean-Baptiste Pierazzi clearing an Ezequiel Lavezzi effort off the line, and Thiago Silva rapping a shot off the crossbar.

However, it proved to be a frustrating evening for Les Parisiens, as the Corsican side hung on for a share of the spoils.
