Postmatch editorial
Neither side managed to pull the match clear
The final score was AZ Alkmaar 2-2 FC Twente. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
The late equaliser came from Peer Koopmeiners 90+5', which kept the game level at the finish.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: AZ Alkmaar led Shots on target 4-2, even though the scoreboard went another way. AZ Alkmaar also shaded Total shots 18-9.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made AZ Alkmaar the favourite at 43.5% implied probability. That market lean missed.
