SC Cambuur vs AZ Alkmaar

Cambuur played most of the second half with ten men and still took a point from AZ Alkmaar, who needed a late penalty to rescue a 2-2 draw in Leeuwarden on Sunday. Nicolas Binder put the hosts ahead in the 7th minute, set up by a flick-on from Jason Çeka. Ro-Zangelo Daal levelled with a shot from outside the box in the 26th minute, but Ilyes Hamache restored the lead in the 39th, his effort going in off the post after Billy van Duijl had won the ball from Mexx Meerdink. The game changed in the 54th minute, when Devid Eugene Bouah picked up a second yellow card for holding Meerdink. AZ kept pushing and got their reward in the 82nd minute. Cambuur keeper Thijs Janssen punched Mees de Wit in an aerial duel, and Meerdink scored from the spot. The point leaves AZ second on 20 points from nine games, three behind leaders Feyenoord. Cambuur have 9 points from nine matches and sit 13th.
