In the 40th minute, AZ Alkmaar surged forward again.
Henriksen, who was controlling the midfield, slipped a clever through-ball to Berghuis, who had darted into space on the right flank.
[This looks promising for AZ Alkmaar!] the lead commentator said, his excitement growing.
Berghuis took one touch to steady himself and unleashed a low drive aimed for the far corner of the goalpost.
The ball skidded across the moist turf, zipping past the outstretched leg of Samba, who attempted to block the ball.
[Gabulov's beaten! Berghuis—oh no!] the co-commentator exclaimed.
The ball grazed the outside of the post and went out for a goal kick. Berghuis clutched his head in his hands, clearly frustrated as he jogged back into position.
[He had Gabulov scrambling there. Just inches wide! AZ Alkmaar are getting closer,] the lead commentator remarked.
