Heracles-AZ | woensdag 3 april om 19:56
51′ Heracles dendert door, een vierde treffer hangt eerder in de lucht dan de eerste van AZ. Scheperman ziet dat Ryan zijn schot met de voet keert, en Hornkamp probeert het vervolgens met de omhaal. Deze mislukt en gaat over de zijlijn.

45+1′ Rest! We’re having tea in Almelo, after a crazy first half. Heracles leads 3-0 (!) against AZ, partly due to two penalties within two minutes. Hornkamp hit them both.

AZ coach Martens about Van Bommel: ‘He lacked aggressiveness’
Maarten Martens chooses to start with Myron van Brederode, and not with Ruben van Bommel. “He lacked some aggressiveness and perhaps some freshness in the last match. Yes. Then there are other players ready, of course. The competition is fierce,” says the AZ coach. ESPN. The Alkmaarders have finally found their way back up again, after a mediocre middle phase of this Eredivisie season. “We have to show again today that we are eager and put in a good performance. If you don’t win, it will eat away at a sportsman. That happened for a while, then you have to fight and come back. We had to be a unit “Little by little it has gotten better.”
