Scores on first start

Ueda scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Tuesday's 3-2 loss against Betis.

Analysis: Ueda made an immediate impact in his first start for Lille, meeting Ethan Mbappe's delivery at the back post to open the scoring in the 12th minute. His lone attempt was enough to produce his first goal for the club before Olivier Giroud replaced him after 77 minutes. Converting immediately in his first opportunity from the starting XI should strengthen Ueda's case for further minutes as Lille determine the hierarchy at center-forward.
