With four hits, Zakaria Aboukhlal was very decisive for AZ’s large win. The Alkmaarders won the exhibition game against Go Ahead Eagles 7-1 at their own training complex in Wijdewormer.
Without the internationals, AZ played Go Ahead Eagles on Thursday afternoon. In the competition, AZ also won twice from the number twelve of the ranking (5-0 and 1-4). That happened again this time. It was 3-1 to the home side at halftime. Twice by Zakaria Aboukhlal and once by Kamal Sowah. The attacker who is rented from Club Brugge made his first goal in the AZ shirt. For the Deventers, former AZ player Justin Bakker scored from a penalty.
Beautiful attack
After the break, AZ happily continued to score. Via Tijjani Reijnders and Peer Koopmeiners, the men of trainer Pascal Jansen ran further to 5-1. Koopmeiners’ goal in particular deserved a lot of applause. A wonderful attack in which Dani de Wit prepared the ball for Koopmeiners.
