55 kilos of potatoes for the best Danish player!

Danish league matches don't usually receive much attention outside the country, but a funny incident caught the eye after French defender Maxime Solas was awarded 55 kilograms of potatoes as a reward for being named Man of the Match in his team Sønderjersey's match against Nørsjaelland. The 26-year-old Solas opened the scoring in the 3-2 win, and jokingly said after the match that he had received the unusual prize and donated it to the club's kitchen, which in turn allocated a portion of the proceeds to a community restaurant in Haderslev. This is the first time a footballer has received such a unique "MVP" award. The club's media director explained that the type of award is determined by the match sponsor, and this time, he decided to award potatoes, giving the occasion a humorous touch that quickly spread across the media and social media. Maxime Solas joined Sønderjersey in 2021 from Vermed Amager and has continued to perform impressively in the local league.
