A packed sports day today with a lot of football in both the Eredivisie, First Division and Second Division. AZ receives Feyenoord in its own stadium and Telstar takes on Helmond Sport.
AZ – Feyenoord: 0-1
Helmond Sport – Telstar: 2-1
Both AZ and Telstar are behind. AZ is certainly not the lesser of Feyenoord, but shoots itself in the foot by defending carelessly. Telstar hopes that Hamdaoui’s connection goal is the start of more in the second half.
Youssef El Kachati is looking for a hole in a crowded penalty area to get out. The top scorer of Telstar ultimately finds the space, but his attempt goes wrong. Telstar is looking for the equalizer just before the break.
Fumbling in the defense of AZ ultimately takes care of the 0-1. Zico Buurmeester headlines the ball unhappy in his own goal after a cross by Igor Paixão. Jeroen Zoet just can’t reach it anymore. Feyenoord is the first to take a lead in Alkmaar.
Ibrahim Sadiq penetrates the penalty area and takes it out. The attempt by the wing attacker is still touched by Gernot Trauner, but Timon Wellenreuther can easily parry.
Jeroen Zoet is put in trouble by a bad pass by Bruno Martins Indi. The goalkeeper of AZ, who today replaces Rome-Jayden Owusu-Oduro, will eventually get away with it without Feyenoord being promising.
It is not yet the afternoon of Telstar. Lennerd Daneels is the end station of a nice attack. Helmond Sport thus doubles the lead.
A corner kick from Peer Koopmeiners turns in dangerous and ends up on the top of the bar. AZ is urging.
Troy Parrott has escaped the defense of Feyenoord and takes it out. The attempt by the Irish striker is turned by Feyenoord goalkeeper Timon Wellenreuther.
The ball is very quickly behind Ronald Koeman Jr. Anthony van den Hurk is the maker of the very early opening goal.
The AZ – Feyenoord and Helmond Sport – Telstar competitions have started.
“He has an overload in the tendon of his foot. We still tested it today, but it wasn’t enough. We had already prepared Jeroen Zoet for this,” said Martens Bij ESPN.
Of the last five meetings with the Rotterdammers, AZ won two, it also lost two and in 2018 it became a draw.
