William Osula had made his first ever international appearance in midweek, coming on as a sub in the goalless draw against Yoane Wissa and DR Congo.
On Sunday, the Newcastle United striker selected to make his first ever start for Denmark.
William Osula selected in a friendly against Ukraine, to be played in Odense.
Dorgu gave Denmark a 13th minute lead, then Maehle added another on 36 minutes.
William Osula putting in an energetic performance, winning a series of free-kicks in the attacking half and the closest he came to scoring was with a shot from a difficult angle on the left that went past the right post
With that effort failing to put the Danes three up, Ukraine went down the other end and pulled a goal back only seconds later, in the 44th minute, Tsygankov with the goal.
One change for Denmark at half-time and another three on the hour mark but William Osula staying on.
However, only five minutes after that triple change, the moment when the Newcastle United striker will remember his first ever international start for all the wrong reasons.
The game in Odense stopped on 65 minutes when Christian Eriksen collapsed, with the match abandoned shortly after, though thankfully the 34-year-old able to eventually walk off the field.
The former Tottenham midfielder was fitted with an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (a type of pacemaker) after suffering a cardiac arrest during a Euro 2020 match against Finland in 2021.
Denmark’s national team doctor Morten Boesen saying after the match was abandoned: “Christian is doing well and walked off the pitch by himself and as I see it, the pacemaker responded as it should. He was briefly unconscious but regained consciousness very quickly. We were quickly in contact with him and he will now undergo further examinations at the hospital to determine what caused the incident. We are in ongoing contact with him and the doctors at the hospital but Christian is doing well and he asked me to send his regards to all the players, tell them that he was OK.”
Denmark manager Brian Riemer commenting: “The most important thing is that Christian is doing well. He has sent his regards to the players and now it is about us standing together, as you could see that we did in the most dignified way on the field and of course ensuring that everyone has a shoulder to lean on from here.”
Our best wishes to Christian Eriksen (Pictured above with William Osula during that midweek draw with DR Congo) and hopefully he will be okay.
