In Wednesday's match, Denmark captain Gisdian Elliksen returned to action to lead his team to a 3-0 win over Serbia. He scored his second goal since his comeback in the 57th minute to add to his team's victory. It is worth noting that the match was played at the same Parken Stadium where Aleksson met his untimely demise last year, and his perfect return was applauded by the entire crowd.
The international friendly between Denmark and Serbia was staged at the Parken Stadium in Copenhagen, the site of last year's Europa League incident, and 30-year-old Binford player Aleksson made his debut in the starting lineup wearing the captain's armband, with banners inside and outside the stadium reading "Welcome back, Aleksson" and more. The stadium was filled with support banners reading "Welcome back, Allison".
By the 53rd minute of the match, Denmark was two goals up. Immediately afterward, Aleksson's long-range shot from outside the box extended the lead to 3-0, his 38th international goal. As the match drew to a close, Aleksson was given a thunderous ovation by the crowd as he exited the field. After the match, he was more than unquestionably voted Man of the Match.
