Match summary
AZ Alkmaar asserted their dominance over Utrecht with a commanding 4-1 victory at Stadion Galgenwaard in the Eredivisie. The visitors established a strong foothold in the second half, netting three goals in quick succession. Teun Koopmeiners opened the scoring just before halftime, and the floodgates truly opened immediately after the break with Weslley Patati, assisted by K. Smit, doubling the lead in the 47th minute. M. Meerdink, set up by M. Chavez Garcia, added a third just two minutes later. Utrecht managed a brief resurgence when A. Stepanov pulled one back in the 62nd minute, assisted by Y. Cathline, but AZ Alkmaar sealed their emphatic win with a late strike from A. Oufkir, again brilliantly provided by M. Chavez Garcia. The match saw a number of bookings for both sides, underscoring the competitive nature of the encounter.
