  • Toulouse lost 1-0 at home to Lille and have taken one point from their first three Ligue 1 matches.
  • Cristian Cásseres Jr. played all 90 minutes, hit the post and forced a save from Lille goalkeeper Berke Özer.
  • The Venezuelan midfielder will remain at Toulouse, where his contract runs through June 2027, despite reported interest from other European clubs.

Cristian Cásseres Jr. came close to changing the game, but Toulouse still remain without a Ligue 1 victory. The Venezuelan midfielder played the entire match in Thursday’s 1-0 home defeat to Lille.

Toulouse produced 24 shots, including 10 on target, yet could not beat Lille goalkeeper Berke Özer. The Turkish goalkeeper made nine saves, including one to deny Cásseres Jr. in the 82nd minute. The midfielder also struck the post and supplied five passes that ended in Toulouse shots.

The defeat leaves Toulouse with one point from a possible nine and in the league’s relegation playoff place. It was their second home loss, after Lyon won 2-0 in the opening round. Toulouse drew 2-2 with Stade Brestois in the second matchday.

Cásseres Jr. has now completed all 90 minutes in each of the club’s first three games. He will stay with Toulouse after the club confirmed on Sept. 1, the final day of the European transfer window, that he would remain. His contract expires in June 2027.

The midfielder had been linked with Sevilla, Olympiacos and Lens. Asked earlier about a possible move to Spain, Italy or another European country, he said, “Yes, yes, any league would be very important to me and Venezuela.” Toulouse finished ninth in Ligue 1 in the 2025-26 season and will also compete in the French Cup and French League Cup.

Yes, yes, any league would be very important to me and Venezuela.
