Four substitutions at AZ: Seiya Maikuma, Ibrahim Sadiq, Jizz Hornkamp and Ayoub Oufkir can complete the last half hour.
This match is over for Maxim Dekker, Isak Jensen, Ro-Zangelo Daal and Matej Sin.
Kodai Sano hits the mark. The preparatory work is once again done by Önal. His cross is poorly defended by AZ, Ro-Zangelo puts the ball at the feet of the Japanese who scores with a beautiful deflecting shot.
Fresh and fruity, NEC combines on the left side through the AZ defense. The detached Tjaronn Chery thinks he can score his second of the evening, but the flag is raised for Önal’s offside.
No substitutions at either AZ or NEC.
AZ had a very difficult time in the first half with a strong NEC. Yet Parrott ensures that the people of Alkmaar do not have to despair yet.
But now it has happened! Troy Parrott appears alone from the right in front of goalkeeper Gonzalo Cretteze and produces the tying goal. His eleventh goal this season in the Premier League for the Irish striker.
A nice attack from AZ in which Sin serves Jensen who has moved to the left, but he pushes the ball wide.
First, captain Tjaronn Chery can take a swing in a free position in the box and then Bryan Linssen heads the subsequent corner dangerously and hard at the AZ goal. Goalkeeper Jeroen Zoet saves. AZ is having an extremely difficult time with NEC, which more than deservedly takes the lead 2-0.
Mees de Wit simply loses the ball to Sami Ouaissa. The winger curls the ball narrowly past AZ’s goal. The Alkmaarders get along very well there.
And immediately after the opening goal it is 0-2. Basar Önal easily passes right-back Alexandre Penetra from the left side and rams the ball into the other corner.
NEC opens the score after exactly ten minutes. Captain Tjaronn Chery slides the ball just out of reach of goalkeeper Jeroen Zoet into the left corner.
After Peer Koepmeiners was honored for his hundredth match in AZ 1, the match has started. The midfielder reached that milestone last week in the away match against Telstar (0-1).
