In a spirited UEFA Conference League qualification match, AZ Alkmaar emerged victorious over PFK Levski Sofia with a 2-0 win. Despite playing away, AZ Alkmaar showcased superior tactical execution and clinical finishing. The away side capitalized on their limited corner opportunities, asserting a calculated approach where precision was crucial, translating their dominance into two second-half goals just under six minutes apart, cementing the distance on the scoreboard.

Levski Sofia's attacking efforts were evident as they secured nine corner kicks compared to AZ Alkmaar's two, highlighting their intention to press forward and spend substantial time in the attacking third. However, their inability to convert these set-piece opportunities into goals proved costly. The home team’s 10 fouls, slightly fewer than their opponents, suggest a restrained defensive effort, yet AZ Alkmaar's effective transition play nullified these advantages.

Discipline was a concern for AZ Alkmaar with three yellow cards, but it did not impede their strategic poise. Levski Sofia's two yellow cards mirror a physical but controlled attempt to disrupt the away team. Both sides adopted aggressive stances, but Alkmaar's adept navigation through critical moments without descending into disorderly play contributed significantly to their success. Ultimately, it was AZ Alkmaar’s efficient execution during key passages of play that tilted the match in their favor.
