OSC Lille footballers secured a 1-0 victory over Toulouse in their Thursday night Ligue 1 match, part of the third round of the French league. The lone goal of the game came in the 73rd minute from Japanese forward Ayase Ueda, who entered the pitch in the second half.

Ueda replaced Olivier Giroud in the 57th minute and, sixteen minutes later, sealed the match. He capitalized on a rebound, heading the ball in from close range.

Thanks to the victory, Lille temporarily climbed to the top of the table with seven points. After three rounds, their record stands at two wins and one draw, with a goal difference of 5:2. Previously, they defeated Angers 2:0 and drew 2:2 with Paris Saint-Germain. Toulouse, meanwhile, has only a single point.

Slovakian footballer Mário Sauer, currently on loan at German club Kaiserslautern, also played for Toulouse. On January 19, 2027, Lille will host Slovan Bratislava in a Champions League fixture.
