AZ's resilience was praised by both trainer Leeroy Echteld and captain Peer Koopmeiners. Echteld described the match as a "rollercoaster" where the team showed a strong comeback after conceding a goal in the first two minutes. Koopmeiners highlighted the team's mental attitude in a difficult phase with many losses, saying it was a "big compliment" to win 4-3 after being 1-3 down.
The match was marked by seven goals, a missed penalty, a successful penalty, and two red cards. Echteld acknowledged that the team could not say they started well, but the feeling was better after the comeback. Koopmeiners took responsibility for the third Groningen goal, admitting to a mistake in communication with Jari De Busser.
