FC Utrecht produced an impressive display to beat AZ Alkmaar 2-0 at the Stadion Galgenwaard in an Eredivisie clash on March 1, 2026. Utrecht controlled large periods of the game and were clinical in front of goal to secure a clean-sheet victory. The home side took the lead in the first half through a well-worked team move and doubled their advantage after the break from a set-piece. AZ struggled to break down a resolute Utrecht defense and rarely tested the home goalkeeper. This win provided a major boost for Utrecht's European qualification hopes, while AZ's inconsistent away form continued.
