Melvine Malard also came off the bench to score in the 2-2 draw with Arsenal on her debut on FridayManchester United came from behind to draw with Paris St-Germain in their first Women's Champions League match.
Substitute Melvine Malard, on loan from Lyon, headed in from a corner in the second half to cancel out Tabitha Chawinga's opener in the second qualifying-round tie.
As in their opening two Women's Super League games, United's substitutes made a scoring impact as Malard's goal ensured they head to Paris next Wednesday with the tie finely balanced.
PSG had wasted several big chances in the first half, including Sandy Baltimore's strike which was pushed wide by goalkeeper Mary Earps, before eventually taking the lead with a clever ball over the top.
But United responded and finished strongly in Leigh as Leah Galton and Geyse came close, Millie Turner's header was saved and Ella Toone struck inches over the bar.
A deflected corner was also cleared off the line by PSG's Marie-Antoinette Katoto as United showed their pedigree against the French two-time finalists on their debut in the qualifying rounds of the competition.
