Paris Saint-Germain are drawing 1-1 with Lille at half time in Ligue 1, thanks to an audacious first-half goal from Zlatan Ibrahimovic and a timely equaliser from Rio Mavuba.

Lille created the game's first chance when Nolan Roux produced a menacing run before laying the ball off to Salomon Kalou, but the striker couldn't connect properly and the chance was wasted.
Vincent Enyeama denied Ezequiel Lavezzi on two separate occasions, with the keeper producing saves to keep out a left-footed effort and a header.
PSG wasted a fantastic opportunity midway through the half when Ibrahimovic lashed an impressive cross into the box, but Thiago Silva somehow managed to miss from just three yards out by turning the ball over the bar.
However, Ibrahimovic was on hand again to ensure that PSG took the lead, as he hammered the ball into the top corner with his right foot.
Silva could have increased the hosts' lead late on in the first half when he connected with a header from a corner, but the ball crashed into Roux on its way to goal.
Mavuba made PSG pay on the stroke of half time as he got on the end of a cross from Kalou to leave things level at the interval.
