Match Info

AZ Alkmaar avoided a cup upset by defeating SC Telstar 2-1 in the KNVB Cup on March 5, 2026. The Eredivisie side was pushed all the way by the determined second-tier opponent but did enough to book their place in the next round. AZ took an early lead, but Telstar refused to be overawed and equalized against the run of play just before halftime. The second half was a tense affair, with AZ applying constant pressure. The winner came from a defensive error by Telstar, which AZ's striker punished with a calm finish midway through the half. The key focus was Telstar's goalkeeper, who made a string of fantastic saves to keep the scoreline respectable. This result keeps AZ on track for potential cup silverware this season, while Telstar exited with their heads held high. The AZ manager acknowledged the difficulty of the match, and the Telstar coach expressed pride in his team's valiant effort.
