Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

AZ Alkmaar came from behind to beat SC Heerenveen 3-2 in the Eredivisie. They led through Ro-Zangelo Daal after seven minutes, fell behind to two Heerenveen goals, then recovered to take all three points.

Ro-Zangelo Daal's 7th-minute strike made it 0-1, but Nolhan Courtens levelled for the hosts in the 21st minute and Ringo Meerveld put Heerenveen ahead nine minutes later. Mexx Meerdink brought AZ level in the 69th minute, and Ayoub Oufkir completed the turnaround from Meerdink's assist in the 83rd.

Alkmaar had the stronger overall numbers — 56% possession, 15 shots to Heerenveen's eight, 436 accurate passes to 322 — yet they still needed a late response to win. Meerdink's goal and assist proved decisive as Heerenveen's 2-1 lead faded.
