Christian Eriksen has reappeared tonight in the friendly that Denmark is playing against the Netherlands at the Johan Cruyff Arena in Amsterdam and he barely needed three minutes to score.
The fans present in the stands welcomed Eriksen’s presence on the pitch with applause and he reciprocated them with another round of applause. Danish coach Kasper Hjulmand has brought him on at half-time in place of Jesper Lindstroem.

Even Louis van Gaal, coach of the Netherlands, applauded on the sideline, standing up, for Eriksen, who suffered a cardiac arrest on June 12 during the European Championship match that he played with Denmark against Finland at Parken in Copenhagen.
After being implanted with a defibrillator, Eriksen signed in January for Brentford, in whose ranks he has played three games with good performance. Today, just three minutes after the start of the second half, he nailed the ball into the top corner after receiving a late pass from Andreas Skov Olsen reducing distances and making it 3-2 on the scoreboard. It is the first goal that Eriksen has scored in an official match since the terrible episode he suffered in June.
