- Santiago Hidalgo struck a brace in Ligue 1 as Toulouse routed Nice 5–1, with Cristian Cásseres also on the scoresheet and Julián Vignolo adding his first goal for the club.
- Hidalgo’s double took him to five goals for Toulouse in roughly 453 minutes, continuing an efficient run despite limited starts.
- Vignolo, 19, scored minutes after coming on as a substitute, marking his first Ligue 1 goal since joining from Racing de Córdoba on a four-year deal in August 2025.
