RKC ends the season with a win over AZ
RKC Waalwijk closed the season with a 3-1 win at AZ. The team had already secured another season in the Eredivisie on Wednesday. After the victory in Alkmaar, the Waalwijkers finished in tenth place. AZ enters the play-offs as number 5 for a ticket for the preliminary round of the Conference League.
RKC took the lead in the eighteenth minute via a goal from Finn Stokkers. In the stoppage time of the first half, AZ equalized after Dani de Wit headed in from a corner.
The home team fell behind again in the 64th minute after Juriën Gaari brought the Waalwijkers to 2-1. Three minutes later, De Wit again seemed to equalize, but his goal was rejected for offside after intervention by the VAR. In the 79th minute Roy Kuijpers extended RKC’s lead to 3-1, also the final score.
