AZ Alkmaar displayed a commanding performance against FC Vaduz, securing a 3-0 victory. The home team’s offensive efforts were well-coordinated, with the early opening goal at the 28-minute mark setting the tone. AZ Alkmaar effectively utilized their attacking options, reflected in their efficient conversion of chances into goals, particularly noted in the second half when they quickly doubled and then tripled their lead. This clinical edge in goal-scoring was pivotal, as it allowed them to maintain control over the game's tempo.

Defensively, AZ Alkmaar managed the game astutely, limiting FC Vaduz to just two corner kicks and even fewer shots on target. Even though AZ Alkmaar incurred ten fouls and three yellow cards mainly in the second half, their discipline did not waver where it mattered most—staying free of red cards and maintaining a clean sheet. This disciplined defense paired with a high work rate in midfield effectively stifled the visitors' attacking ambitions, thus ensuring that AZ's goalkeeper had a relatively comfortable match.

Teamwork was prominently displayed by AZ Alkmaar, evident from their cohesive transitions and linking plays, facilitating three successful offside traps compared to Vaduz's one. Meanwhile, FC Vaduz struggled to convert possession into tangible goalscoring opportunities, highlighting their challenges in coordination and penetration against a well-structured home defense. The away side’s solitary yellow card came relatively late, signifying a degree of restraint under pressure, but it was AZ Alkmaar’s sustained and efficient team effort across all areas that most significantly impacted the outcome, showcasing their potential as a formidable force in the competition.
