Aug 23 (Reuters) - Ferran Torres ⁠came off the bench to score a late ⁠double on his debut as Paris St Germain rallied ‌from two goals down to draw 2-2 with hosts Stade Rennais in their Ligue 1 season opener on Sunday.

Sebastian Szymanski and Esteban Lepaul ​gave the home side a 2-0 lead ⁠at halftime but PSG ⁠piled on the pressure in the second period and were ⁠rewarded ‌with a point.

Rennes led inside nine minutes as Szymanski's shot went in off the post to provide ⁠the perfect start to the season for ​the hosts.

Desire Doue ‌thought he had levelled for PSG but his effort ⁠was ruled ​out for offside, and the home side made it 2-0 seven minutes before the break.

Przemyslaw Frankowski found space on the right ⁠wing and his low cross into ​the box was turned into the net by last season’s Ligue 1 top-scorer Lepaul.

PSG pulled a goal back with 19 minutes ⁠remaining as Torres’ clever run beat the offside trap and he collected a Fabian Ruiz pass and scored his first goal for the club since his move from Barcelona.

Torres ​then levelled the scores in the ⁠83rd minute, and again Ruiz was the provider with a ​cross from the left, as the ‌Spanish duo dragged their side back ​into the contest but could not help them find a winner.
