Ayase Ueda, Lille's new signing, made an immediate impact for his team in his first minutes for the club. The Japanese striker was brought into the field in minute 57 for team-mate Oliver Giroud. Ueda's goal came from a low cross in a chaotic situation, which he headed in from close range. The former Feyenoord striker was the Eredivisie top scorer of the previous season. He transferred from Rotterdam to Lille last Monday. Ueda scored his first and only goal in the competitive match against Toulouse (0-1) on Thursday evening. His reunion with former Feyenoord team-mate Casper Tengstedt, who moved to Toulouse this summer, added to the significance of the match.
