Jong AZ did not manage to beat FC Eindhoven. Remarkably, two Alkmaar goals were ruled out for offside. That did not help the Alkmaar youngsters, so the score remained 0-0.
The Jong AZ players had a remarkable preparation for the home match against FC Eindhoven. The selection was allowed to go to Argentina for the World Cup against Boca Juniors. It was lost on penalties. Nine players from that final were also in the starting line-up against FC Eindhoven on Friday evening. Only Jayden Addai and Ernest Poku were missing. The first opportunity for the Alkmaar youngsters arose through Dave Kwakman. However, his effort was blocked. The Eindhoven team did not become dangerous in the counterattack.
