De Wit started as a left back and played a strong game. With Ro-Zangelo Daal, who was stuck a lot on the sidelines, De Wit pulled in a lot. In the combination it was frequently used and that resulted in fine combinations.
The last goal of his feet was illustrative for his game tonight. “As a defender you don’t score very often. I am happy with it.”
AZ therefore had a good revenge. Last week in Finland it went down with 4-3, but it quickly turned out that it was a few teeth better in Alkmaar. Troy Parrott soon shot AZ to a margin of two and via Ernest Poku and DESO Kasius it was already 4-0 at half time. De Wit made the fifth in the second half and the third preliminary round of the Conference League was reached.
Wise lesson
“I am very satisfied with what I have seen,” says trainer Maarten Martens, who is relieved. “Today we put it up very well. A wise lesson is that you must have full-focus for ninety minutes.”
