Jong AZ did not manage to bring FC Dordrecht to its knees. The score was 0-0 in Dordrecht. As a result, the Alkmaar youngsters again did not win on foreign soil.
Jong AZ’s week started well, after Jong Ajax was defeated 5-2. However, the first half was a lot less flashy compared to that game. FC Dordrecht came out first through John Hilton. He headed straight at goalkeeper Virgil Deen from a promising position. In the counterattack, Jong AZ created danger through Ricuenio Kewal. The attacker received a splitting deep pass from Jorn Berkhout, but found goalie Luca Plogmann in his way. FC Dordrecht then got no further than a long shot from Mathis Suray and a chance from Ilias Sebaoui.
It also rained heavily after the break, but it did not lead to many opportunities. Although the game remained even. This gave Kewal a gigantic opportunity. However, the Jong AZ attacker failed face to face with Plogmann. Ruben Kluivert headed the ball just in front of the goal on the other side. Jong AZ increased the pressure in the final phase, because he wanted to take three points. Just before the end of the match, substitute Nick Koster had a great chance, but it was not for him. The same applied to Dave Kwakman, which left the score 0-0.
Jong AZ is seventh in the first division after seven games. Willem II, whose match was postponed due to heavy rain, is the opponent next Friday.
Jong AZ line-up: Dane; Van Aken, Berkhout, Engel, Stam; Postma, Schouten, Kwakman; Kewal (Koster/72), Reverson (Addai/72), Poku (Daal/63)
