Friday, March 22, will be marked in the memory of the right back Oliver Sonne and the fan of the Peruvian team, as the Silkeborg footballer made his long-awaited debut with the ‘blanquirroja’. This was in the friendly match that the South American representative held against his counterpart from Nicaragua at the Alejandro Villanueva stadium in La Victoria. One day after the long-awaited moment, the blonde gave his first words through his social networks.

The preparation duel, which also marked the debut of Uruguayan coach Jorge Fossati in command of the ‘everyone’s team’, had the Dane of Peruvian descent as one of its great protagonists. The affection of the fans present in Matute was noticeable and they applauded him before, during and after his performance on the field. The 23-year-old defender, excited, sent a message in Spanish through his Instagram account.

“A very special day. Thank you!”, that was the writing published by Sonne Christensen on digital platforms. The affection of her followers was not noticeable and in less than an hour she surpassed 60 thousand likes. It should be remembered that the right-handed winger had to wait five months to absolutely represent the Inca representative.

Oliver Sonne was summoned for the first time under the mandate of former coach Juan Máximo Reynoso for the 2026 Qualifying duels against Chile, Argentina, Bolivia and Venezuela, but he did not have minutes on those occasions, despite the promises of the technical command. Even against the ‘albicelestes’ and ‘altiplanicos’ he did not appear on the list. Only in his third call to Videna, already with Fossati Lurrachi in the technical zone, did he have the opportunity.

Oliver Sonne entered the field in the 58th minute to replace left back Miguel Trauco. When it seemed that the Koge native would settle into another position on the field, either in the right sector of the field or in midfield, he occupied another place at the direction of ‘Flaco’ Fossati. The athlete, who obtained his DNI in record time in September 2023, positioned himself as left winger and remained in that position until the final whistle. Although he did not have much impact in attack, he showed off his versatility. It is necessary to indicate that on the other side he would have much tougher competition to get a place in the starting eleven, since Luis Advíncula has been indisputable in that area for more than a decade and against the ‘pinoleros’, Andy Polo took very good advantage of his opportunity and provided two assists.

Oliver Sonne will have another opportunity to continue adding minutes with the ‘bicolor’ during this month’s FIFA round, when he faces another rival from Concacaf. Next Tuesday, March 26, Peru will measure forces with its counterpart from the Dominican Republic at the Monumental de Ate stadium. This sporting event is scheduled to start at 8:30 p.m. local time and there is great expectation to see the ‘Viking’ again in action.

The national team coach himself was satisfied with the player’s performance and even stated that he has enough skills to continue being taken into account. “The concrete thing and the nice thing that I get is that Sonne played. He came and played. It seems to me that he showed that he has qualities to continue being taken into account,” he stated at a press conference. However, he made a complaint to the fan, mentioning that he did not like that they asked him to enter the field at the same time.
