AZ Alkmaar Vs FC Twente

Fweeeee!~

The ball rolled back to Viergever, who immediately sprayed a pass out wide to Gorter. AZ Alkmaar wasted no time settling into their rhythm, knocking the ball around with confidence.

[AZ Alkmaar, as expected, looking to dominate possession early,] Erik van Dijk observed. [They'll want to stretch Twente's midfield, and force them to chase]

Twente, however, pressed aggressively. Leroy Fer and Denny Landzaat moved quickly to cut off passing lanes, forcing AZ Alkmaar to play backward.

[Good intensity from Twente,] Ronald noted. [They aren't sitting back; they're stepping up high, trying to unsettle the home side]

Benjamin dropped deep to receive a pass from Reijnen, turning sharply before flicking a first-time ball toward Martens.

[Lovely touch from Benjamin Rijkaard there,] Erik said with a chuckle. [This young man oozes confidence. He's got quick feet, great vision—just a joy to watch]
