Thom van Bergen has broken down his remarkable goal for AZ against FC Groningen, with the player himself providing insight into the events leading up to the strike. VoetbalPrimeur captured the moment, with Van Bergen pointing to a video he had watched as the key to his success. According to Van Bergen, the goal was relatively straightforward, with the keeper still to be beaten before he could make his run. He had seen a video of a similar incident just moments before, which sparked the idea in his mind. Van Bergen's words suggest that he genuinely believed AZ had been awarded a free kick, which added to the emotional response he felt at the time.
