But after the round, the players returned to their respective clubs, and despite not being able to debut for Peru, Sonne immediately rejoined Silkeborg and luckily played the full 90 minutes against Hvidovre in the 12th round of the tournament.
Sonne has become the first member of the 'Team of All' to return to playing, and to add to this, his team won 2-1 and moved to the top of the leaderboard, one point ahead of their closest pursuers.
What detail did Silkeborg have with Oliver Sonne?
Prior to the match in which Sonne played, there was a detail that did not go unnoticed by his new national followers. When Silkeborg's lineup was announced, the Peruvian flag was placed beneath his name, rather than the Danish flag.
