The North Holland promising teams took four points in the 36th round of the first division. For example, Jong Ajax won 4-2 at home against ADO Den Haag and Jong AZ made the 1-1 against TOP Oss just before time.
With Lorenza Lucca in the striker and Youri Baas in the left back position, Jong Ajax deservedly won against ADO Den Haag at their own Future. The talents of coach Dave Vos dominated the entire game, although it didn’t rain any chances. Via two goals from Kristian Hlynsson and also hits from Donny Warmerdam and Mika Godts, Jong Ajax was especially effective against the physically strong team from The Hague.
Red card
At the start of the second half, ADO Den Haag had to continue with ten men after a red card for Guillem Martinez. At that time, the Amsterdam reserves were leading 2-1. Moments later, Hlynsson decided the game 3-1 and Dick Advocaat’s resistance was broken. Young Ajax remains thirteenth in the ranking despite the victory.
Basic line-up Young Ajax: DeGraff; Regeer, Aertssen, Warmerdam, Baas; Vos, Gooijer, Hlynsson; Rasmussen Lucca, Godts
Things went less well this Monday evening with Young AZ. While trainer Maarten Martens had a strong selection on paper. Wouter Goes, Maxim Dekker and Mexx Meerdink were in the starting line-up. This trio has played the necessary matches in the Alkmaar main force in recent months. However, the young Alkmaarders could not express the difference in quality in goals. In the first half, Iman Griffith, Zico Buurmeester and Meerdink had the necessary chances, but it was the visitors from North Brabant who took the lead.
Poku
The second half provided fewer opportunities for Young AZ, but Griffith hit the aluminum fifteen minutes before the end. After some changes it was a bit of a search for the right rhythm and that worked out just before the end. Substitute Ernest Poku scored after a great action, 1-1. In injury time, Buurmeester had the opportunity to take the full booty, but his effort lacked precision.
Young AZ is now at the top of the right-hand row in eleventh place. On Friday, Martens’ team will go to Amsterdam for the confrontation against Ajax’s peers.
Starting line-up Young AZ: Dane; Stam, Goes, Dekker, Engel; Schouten, Neighbor, De Jong; Griffith, Meerdink, Barasi
