Japan's Ueda Fires Lille Top of Ligue 1 on Debut
The Japan forward scored the only goal in a 1-0 win, and Lille moved provisionally top after three games.
- On Thursday, Japanese international Ayase Ueda scored on his debut for Lille, securing a 1-0 away victory against Toulouse in Ligue 1 and sending his new club provisionally to the top of the French league.
- The 28-year-old forward joined Lille on Monday from Feyenoord, where he was the Dutch league's top scorer last season before replacing veteran striker Olivier Giroud in the 57th minute at Stadium de Toulouse.
- Ueda broke the deadlock on 73 minutes during a goalmouth scramble. "I'm relieved to have made my presence felt from the first game," Ueda said, emphasizing that forwards who finish such chances win games.
- Paired with veteran Giroud, the 15 million euros recruit aims to learn from his teammate while Lille manager Davide Ancelotti has guided the team to seven points from three games.
- Lille hosts Real Betis in the Champions League on Tuesday, maintaining provisional league leadership. Paris Saint-Germain can reclaim the top spot on Friday when they face Monaco in Ligue 1.
