Kylian Mbappé watches younger brother Ethan score a big goal for Lille against PSG

With older brother Kylian Mbappé proudly looking on, teenager Ethan Mbappé struck a late equalizer against his former club on Sunday as Lille held injury-hit Paris Saint-Germain to a 1-1 draw.

Despite sharing the points, PSG returned to the top of the French league. It's one point clear of a trio of challengers — Marseille, Strasbourg and Lyon.

Both Mbappé brothers left PSG in the summer of 2024. While Kylian crossed the border to join Real Madrid in the Spanish league, Ethan remained in France and signed a three-year deal with Lille. The technically gifted, left-footed 18-year-old midfielder was hampered by injuries last season but has been in great shape recently.

Kylian Mbappé was in the stands at Lille's stadium and did not hide his joy when his brother leveled the score. The teenager marked his second goal of the season by mimicking his brother's trademark celebration — arms crossed over his chest, hands tucked under his armpits.

He scored after coming on as a substitute with only nine minutes left to play. He was set up on the right side of the box and fired a low, left-footed strike to beat goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier in the 85th.

In a match with few chances, PSG had taken the lead in the 66th minute through Nuno Mendes. Widely regarded as one of the finest left backs for his rock-solid defensive displays, the Portugal player showcased his exquisite ball touch with a curled free kick into the top corner.

Brazilian striker Emersonn scored two late goals as Toulouse came from behind to win 2-1 at Lyon.

Lyon led until the 87th minute but slumped to a second defeat this season after Emersonn first leveled the scoring with a powerful shot that took a deflection, then snatched the winner in added time with a header.

Lyon had dominated proceedings in the first half and had deservedly taken the lead in the 24th minute after a superb collective move started from the back and finished by Belgian forward Malick Fofana.

Fourth-placed Lyon has 15 points from seven games. Toulouse moved up to ninth place, five points behind.

Second-placed Marseille won at rock-bottom Metz 3-0 to notch a fourth straight win in Ligue 1 on Saturday.

Strasbourg thrashed Angers 5-0 despite several absences. Joaquín Panichelli scored twice for the visitors and is now joint top scorer in the league alongside Monaco’s Ansu Fati, with both players having netted five goals each. Martial Godo also scored twice for third-placed Strasbourg.

The Riviera derby between Monaco and Nice ended in a 2-2 draw.

Nice went 2-0 up as Sofiane Diop hurt his former club with a brace in the first half. But Nice was reduced to 10 men in the 34th minute following Ali Abdi's red card. Fati, who is on a season-long loan from Barcelona, scored twice from the spot for the hosts.

Also, Rennes drew 2-2 at Le Havre.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia hammered civilian areas of Ukraine with hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles in an attack that stretched for hours from daytime into the night, killing at least 16 people and injuring more than 80 others as terrified residents cowered in their homes, officials said Thursday.

Russia launched nearly 700 drones and dozens of ballistic and cruise missiles, primarily targeting civilians, in its biggest aerial barrage in almost two weeks, authorities said.

Tetiana Sokol, a 54-year-old resident of Kyiv, said two missiles hit near her home and she took cover with her dog in the hallway as flashes lit up the night and windows shattered from the blast wave.

“On the third attack everything broke, everything flew, we were shocked, we didn’t know where to run. I grabbed whatever came to hand and ran away with the dog,” she told The Associated Press. “I still can’t find the cats in the house, they climbed out somewhere, I don’t even know. No windows, nothing, the dog is still walking around in stress.”

Moscow's forces have hit civilian areas almost daily since its all-out invasion of its neighbor more than four years ago, with the regular assaults occasionally punctuated by massive attacks. More than 15,000 Ukrainian civilians have died in the strikes, the United Nations says.

The latest bombardment came in the wake of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's 48-hour trip this week to Germany, Norway and Italy in an urgent search for more air defense systems that can stop Russian missiles.

Ukraine has developed a significant domestic arms industry, especially in the production of drones and missiles, but it can’t yet match the sophistication of U.S. Patriot air defense systems. Ukraine’s top diplomatic priority is securing allies’ help to buy and build more and better air defenses, Zelenskyy said this week.

Cash-strapped Ukraine also needs the speedy disbursement of a promised loan from the European Union of 90 billion euros ($106 billion) that has been blocked by Hungary.

Ukraine fears the Iran war is burning through stockpiles of the advanced American-made systems it needs, and has argued against a U.S. temporary waiver on Russian oil sanctions that Kyiv says is helping finance the Kremlin's war effort.

“Another night has proven that Russia does not deserve any easing of global policy or lifting of sanctions,” Zelenskyy said on X.

He thanked Germany, Norway and Italy for new agreements this week on supporting Ukraine's air defense. Officials are also working with the Netherlands on additional supplies, he said.

At the same time, he noted that some partner countries haven't followed through on pledges of military support.

“I have instructed the Commander of the Air Force to contact those partners who earlier committed to providing missiles for Patriot and other systems,” Zelenskyy said.

The bombardment was the biggest in weeks. Last month, Russia fired 948 drones and 34 missiles in the space of 24 hours in the largest assault of the war on civilian areas.

At least four people were killed overnight in Kyiv, including a 12-year-old, with more than 50 others injured, according to authorities. Officials said the attack damaged 17 apartment buildings, 10 private homes, as well as a hotel, office center, car dealership, gas station and a shopping mall in the capital.

Nine people were killed and 23 injured in the southern port city of Odesa, three women were killed and around three dozen injured in the central Dnipro region, and one person was killed in Zaporizhzhia in the south.

“Such attacks cannot be normalized. These are war crimes that must be stopped and their perpetrators held to account,” Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said on X.

Ukraine’s air force said air defenses shot down or disabled 667 out of 703 incoming targets, including 636 Shahed-type drones and other uncrewed aerial vehicles.

It said 20 strike drones and 12 missiles hit 26 locations.

Meanwhile, in Russia, Krasnodar regional Gov. Veniamin Kondratyev reported that a 14-year-old girl and a woman were killed in Ukrainian strikes in the Black Sea port of Tuapse.

He said that attacks damaged six apartment buildings, 24 private houses and three schools. Drone fragments also fell near the port of Tuapse.

Russia’s Defense Ministry said that its air defenses downed 207 Ukrainian drones overnight.
