Peer Koopmeers can play with left (from about 15 meters) and plant the ball on the post. Too bad for AZ, but it remains an attractive competition.
What a wonderful first half in Almelo. AZ takes the lead again via Mayckel Lahdo, who curls him wonderfully into the goal. The Alkmaarders lead 2-1 in Almelo!
Suff Podgoreanu just tries it from a distance and the ball almost goes in. Happiness for AZ.
Rome-Jayden Owusu-Oduro is completely wrong with a corner and Damon Mirani can head the ball in the goal. It’s right again …
