A used penalty kick from Troy Parrott and in the final seconds a label from Kees Smit gave AZ a place in the semi -final. “Sure I am relieved,” says trainer Maarten Martens. “It’s annoying that it has become a competition again. We were just not top today.”
AZ knows tomorrow who the opponent is in the semi -final of the cup. PSV, Go Ahead Eagles and Heracles Almelo are the possible opponents. The final of the KNVB cup is on Monday, April 21 in De Kuip in Rotterdam.
FC Porto
In the past transfer period, AZ managed to keep all players in Alkmaar. And that while there was still drawn to Peer Koopmeiners. The central midfielder was emphatically in the interest of FC Porto.
