It had not been successful in the six previous meetings, but Jong AZ defeated NAC Breda on Friday evening. Yusuf Barasi, Souleyman Allouch, Iman Griffith and Mexx Meerdink were accurate: 4-0.
Young AZ shot off the starting blocks against NAC Breda. Peer Koopmeiners was allowed to start in the base and saw that Yusuf Barasi headed over. It was Souleyman Allouch, who was unable to complete a cross from Iman Griffith a few minutes later. In the counter-punch, the Bredenaren got a huge chance through Jort van der Sande. He forced Sem Westerveld to a rescue.
Goalkeeper Roy Kortsmit had to gracefully save a shot from Fedde de Jong. That turned out to be a harbinger, because a minute later it was Barasi who completed a brilliant attack: 1-0. The striker became dangerous again not much later from a through pass from basic debutant Sem Dekkers. In the last part of the first half, Van der Sande headed over.

Allouch doubled Jong AZ’s lead after 51 minutes. He shot a pass from Koopmeiners into the goal: 2-0. Right back Robin Lathouwers was at the basis of the third goal. With a handy transfer, Griffith was able to print easily: 3-0.
That meant unprecedented opulence for Jong AZ, which had never won against NAC before. The attacking drive of the Alkmaarders had not stopped yet, because a shot by substitute Mexx Meerdink went wide. After a quiet phase, Allouch shot the ball hard on Kortsmit’s fists. Meerdink even made it 4-0 in the final phase after an assist from Griffith.
Jong AZ is seventh with sixteen points due to the big win. The next opponent is FC Den Bosch.
