In a decisive clash in the Eerste Divisie on 18 April 2025, Jong AZ Alkmaar emerged victorious over Emmen with a comprehensive 4-1 win. Jong AZ capitalized on their chances with clinical finishing, significantly impacting the match outcome despite having fewer corner kicks. Emmen had a higher number of corners with 10 compared to Jong AZ's 4, which shows that they maintained offensive pressure, yet failed to convert these opportunities into goals.

Jong AZ set the tempo early with a goal in the first half at the 12:33 mark, which put Emmen on the back foot. Despite a brief equalizer by Emmen early in the second half, Jong AZ's superior teamwork and swift counters allowed them to score three more times in the second half. Their second goal, coming shortly after Emmen's equalizer, was crucial in regaining momentum and putting Emmen under pressure.

The disciplinary factor slightly favored Jong AZ, as Emmen received two yellow cards in the second half, disrupting their rhythm further. Both teams had their moments of indiscipline, with Emmen picking up a yellow card at 01:33:24 just seconds before Jong AZ also received one. However, the mental resilience and focus of Jong AZ ensured they maintained their edge. Their ability to convert key chances into goals proved decisive, underscoring their superior performance and strategic execution during the match.
