AZ trainer Maarten Martens made an excited impression after the lost cup final against Go Ahead Eagles. “We should have earned the cup in the air after 90 minutes. At 2-0 it would have been ready. This hurts a lot,” said the trainer at a press conference in De Kuip.
AZ saw Go Ahead in the 99th and last minute equalizing via Mats Deijl, who used a penalty kick. “Of course, Peer Koopmeiners was held,” said Martens, who saw substitute Mexx Meerdink missing some good chances at a stand of 1-0. “In the phase that Go Ahead took more risk, we should have finished it.”
