PARIS (Kyodo) -- Japan football international Keito Nakamura equalized in the 56th minute to secure Reims a share of the points in a 1-1 draw away to Paris Saint-Germain in France's Ligue 1 on Saturday.

Ousmane Dembele gave the French champions the lead early in the second half at Parc des Princes before Nakamura netted his eighth league goal of the season by finishing a crisp counterattack involving fellow Samurai Blue winger Junya Ito.

Former Kashiwa Reysol fullback Hiroki Sekine saw his first action for Reims when he came off the bench for Ito in injury time.

In Germany's Bundesliga, Ritsu Doan assisted Freiburg goal-scorer Matthias Ginter in a 2-1 loss at home to heavyweights Bayern Munich.

The hosts trailed 2-0 on goals to Harry Kane and Kim Min Jae before Doan set up Ginter with a corner kick in the 68th minute at Europa-Park Stadion.
