View the summary of AZ – Almere City
AZ has settled with Almere City with some difficulty. In Alkmaar, the visitors surprisingly leveled after the break, but through substitute Dani de Wit and left back David Møller Wolfe, AZ still came out on top. Vangelis Pavlidis scored two goals and did well in the top scorer’s rankings.
With the victory, the Alkmaarders jump over FC Twente again in the rankings. AZ has two points less than number two Feyenoord.
Almere City, which is in sixteenth place in the Premier League with 13 points, did not hide against AZ. In the first half, coach Alex Pastoor’s eleven created the necessary opportunities and played the best football. Left striker Rajiv van La Parra was certainly threatening.

Yet it was AZ that took the lead. Greek striker Pavlidis acted quickly in the box and struck hard with his left. Keeper Nordin Bakker had no answer to the slider.
After the break, Almere City rewarded itself for its bravery in the first half. Loïc Mbe Soh headed home from a corner kick. AZ had to start again.

De Wit had started on the bench and was allowed to come off shortly after the 1-1. The midfielder was just in when he had already scored his goal: he cleverly tapped a failed long shot behind Bakker. Moments later, Møller Wolfe scored his first goal for AZ.
The best was yet to come. In the last minute of the match, Pavlidis brilliantly lobbed the 4-1 goal via the crossbar. With his goal he continues in the footsteps of Santiago Gimenez, the Feyenoord player who leads the top scorers list.
