RENNES, May 3 (SW) - A late equalizer by Bonaventure Kalou earned a draw for Paris Saint-Germain at Rennes on Wednesday, a result that secured second place and a group stage berth in the Champions League for idle Bordeaux.

Rennes - PSG 1-1

Kim Källström had given Rennes the lead and what looked like a victory from the penalty spot in the 71st minute, but an injury-time goal by Bonaventure Kalou earned a point for PSG and clinched it for Bordeaux.

Rennes are still in contention for a Champions League berth, though, as they sit just one point Lille for third place.

Auxerre - Marseille 1-2

Another side still in contention for third place is Marseille, the French Cup runners-up winning at Auxerre to go level on points with Lille..

A goal on 16 minutes by Mamadou Niang gave Marseille the lead until Renato Civelli doubled the advantage in the 67th minute. Seven minutes later, Jean-Pascal Mignot pulled a goal back for Auxerre but they got no closer.
