Feyenoord pushed again. Immers passed to Verhoek, who darted past Gorter, crossing low. Pellè lunged, but Reijnen threw himself across, the ball smacking his shin and rolling out.
The veteran striker spun, hands on hips, muttering to Clasie. Koeman shouted from the touchline, waving for more.
[Rob's voice sharpened. Pellè's lurking, Jon! Reijnen's just keeping him out!]
[Jon exhaled. AZ Alkmaar's defense is working overtime, Rob. They need to stay switched on!]
AZ Alkmaar struck back. Martens fired a pass to Berghuis, who sprinted down the right, outpacing Nelom. His cross was sharp, Altidore rising, but Mathijsen matched him, heading clear.
The ball landed with Clasie, who broke, feeding Boëtius. The winger's shot sailed high, the crowd groaning.
[Jon's voice surged. Berghuis is lively, Rob! But Mathijsen's a rock!]
[Rob chuckled. Feyenoord's fighting back, Jon. This game's wide open!]
#24th minute.
