In a decisive display of attacking prowess, De Graafschap secured a commanding 5-1 victory over Jong AZ Alkmaar. From the outset, De Graafschap demonstrated their intent, with an early goal within the first three minutes setting the tone. The home team's frontline was in exemplary form, breaking through Jong AZ's defense three times in the first half alone, showcasing clinical finishing.

The defining strength for De Graafschap lay in their ability to capitalize on scoring opportunities efficiently. Despite having significantly fewer corner kicks than Jong AZ, who had five, De Graafschap's conversion rate from open play was exceptional. Their offense was bolstered by quick, incisive passes, allowing them to penetrate the away team’s defensive line with ease, which reflected in their substantial goal tally.

Jong AZ Alkmaar, while showing some resilience, struggled to find the same cohesion in their attacking endeavors. Their lone goal came late in the second half, too little to sway the match's momentum. Fouls were relatively balanced between both teams, though De Graafschap's 13 fouls indicated a more aggressive approach, which, crucially, did not translate into yellow or red cards. This disciplined aggression allowed De Graafschap to disrupt Jong AZ’s rhythm without consequence, further aiding their dominance.
