AZ's Mexx Meerdink scored the only goal of the match in the 19th minute, assisted by Valdemar Byskov. The goal was initially allowed, but was later disallowed due to a handball by Meerdink. Despite the controversy, AZ managed to hold on to their lead and secure the win.
The victory has seen AZ regain the top position in the Eredivisie, following PSV's loss to FC Twente. AZ will head into the international break with a positive mindset, having bounced back from a disappointing week that saw them lose to Sunderland in the Europa League and draw with Willem II.
