PARIS: Second-half goals from Marquinhos and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia saw Paris Saint-Germain draw 2-2 with fellow Ligue 1 opponents AS Monaco at the Parc des Princes in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League play-off to qualify for the last-16 of the competition with 5-4 win on aggregate.
Two goals in the space of six second-half minutes helped the reigning champions into the last 16 after being pushed close by ten-man Monaco. The visitors started brightly and were rewarded for their efforts just before half-time via Maghnes Akliouche’s neat strike.
However, shortly after Monaco’s Mamadou Coulibaly received a second booking, home skipper Marquinhos steered in a Désiré Doué cross, with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia pouncing on a rebound to give Paris the lead on the night.
