With Hobie Verhulst under the crossbar and Mayckel Lahdo, Yusuf Barasi, Myron van Brederode in the attack, Young AZ took on the number fourteen of the first division with a strengthened team. Young AZ, which is having a strong season, could climb to position six in the ranking with a win.

Disadvantage

In Eindhoven, both teams were quite evenly matched. Although the home team took the lead after eight minutes through Mohamed Nassoh. For Young AZ, Van Brederode was the most threatening in the first half. After half an hour of play, the winger came in dangerously and fired at the enemy goal, only the keeper saved.

In the second half, the Alkmaar talents quickly equalized. Via Zico Buurmeester, it also smelled a bit like an own goal from Jong PSV. After that equalizer, Jong AZ pushed through and took the lead a minute later via Lahdo. However, Maarten Martens’ team did not hold on to that lead for long, because after an hour of play the great talent Jason van Duiven shot in 2-2 on behalf of Young PSV.

Reversos

In the final phase Jong PSV insisted and Verhulst had to come into action three times. Nevertheless, the Alkmaar goalkeeper could not prevent the Brabant club from taking the lead fifteen minutes before the end. Martens then made substitutions a number of times and that worked out well, as substitute Damienus Reverson scored the 3-3 just before time.

With the point achieved in Eindhoven, Young AZ is seventh in the ranking. Next Monday, Jong AZ will play Willem II at home.
