WASHINGTON (AP) — Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored in the third minute in his first game with Paris Saint-Germain to help the French club tie D.C. United 1-1 in exhibition play Saturday night.

Dwayne De Rosario tied it with a first-half penalty kick for D.C. United.

Ibrahimovic, who accepted a transfer from AC Milan and signed a three-year deal with PSG on July 18, reached Jeremy Menez's pass, cut back across United defender Daniel Woolard and drove a low, left-footed shot into the bottom left corner.

De Rosario leveled it in the 33rd minute after Woolard drew a penalty kick when his curling cross struck the extended arm of Milan Bisevac. The goal came 11 minutes after the game resumed following a 45-minute delay for severe weather.

Paris Saint-Germain was coming off a 1-1 tie with Chelsea on Sunday at Yankee Stadium.
