AZ Alkmaar wasted no time resetting after the missed chance from Lieder.
Alvarado quickly placed the ball down and signaled for his teammates to push forward.
With a sharp, controlled kick, he sent it toward the right flank where Berghuis was already making a run.
[Smart thinking from Alvarado,] Mike noted. [He knows RKC Waalwijk are still recovering from that miss]
Berghuis leapt, bringing the ball down with a deft touch before spinning away from his marker. The AZ Alkmaar winger didn't hesitate—he drove forward, his pace forcing Martin Kenny to backpedal.
[Berghuis is in full flight now!] the co-commentator added. [Kenny's in trouble here]
The stadium noise swelled as Berghuis neared the edge of the final third. Options were limited ahead, but he spotted Henriksen making a late run into the 18 yard box. With a slight drop of the shoulder, Berghuis created just enough space to whip in a cross.
