Paris St Germain and Racing Santander remain fourth and fifth in Group A after playing out a 2-2 draw at Parc des Princes.

Having seen Manchester City beat Schalke in the day's earlier Group A game, both sides needed to get back into contention for a qualifying spot.

PSG, on a three-match winning run in Ligue 1, surged into a two-goal lead courtesy of goals from Mateja Kezman and Peguy Luyindula.

Former Chelsea striker Kezman opened the scoring on five minutes with a fine finish after Luyindula had done well to dispossess Mehdi Lacen

Luyindula doubled PSG's advantage in the 32nd minute after being played in by Jerome Rothen, but Racing hit back just seven minutes later.

Sammy Traore inadvertently glanced the ball into his own net from Pedro Munitis' free-kick to reduce Racing's arrears.

Gonzalo Colsa then drew the Spaniards level in the 56th minute to ensure that both sides came away with a point.

Racing now need to beat Manchester City in their final match to have any chance of going through, while PSG will also be seeking maximum points from their remaining two games.
