Captain Jordy Clasie and trainer Leeroy Echteld ultimately had mixed feelings about the result: “If everyone agrees, then that is the biggest gain today,” said Echteld.
Barely three weeks ago, AZ won the cup final against NEC (5-1). That victory secured a place in the group stage of the Europa League. The result was that the Alkmaarders did not play anywhere today from a sporting point of view.
Despite this starting point, Feyenoord was fired. The North Hollanders started the match excellently. Within fifty seconds, attack leader Troy Parrott scored the opening goal.
