Match Report

AZ Alkmaar made light work of Fortuna Sittard at the AFAS Stadion, racing into a two-goal lead inside 15 minutes to secure a comfortable 2-0 Eredivisie victory on Saturday evening. Mexx Meerdink opened the scoring in the 11th minute, tapping home from close range after a sharp cross from Isak Jensen. Captain Sven Mijnans doubled the advantage just four minutes later, striking freely to put the result beyond doubt before the quarter-hour mark. The second half offered little drama on the pitch, though the loudest cheer of the evening was reserved for Jordy Clasie, who made his long-awaited comeback after six months sidelined with an ankle injury. The win strengthens AZ's grip on sixth place as they push for European qualification, while Fortuna Sittard remain stuck in mid-table with little left to play for this season.
