AZ Alkmaar get Dutch season off to winning start by taking Super Cup

The 30th edition of the Super Cup in the Netherlands saw AZ Alkmaar secure a 4-0 victory over 10-man PSV Eindhoven, marking their first win in the season-opening match since 2010. Joey Veerman was sent off after nine minutes for a foul on Mexx Meerdink, who headed the opener in the 25th minute despite playing with a bandage on his face.

Weslley Patati, Elijah Dijkstra, and Ro-Zangelo Daal added to the scoreline, netting three goals in a 15-minute span in the second half. This win puts AZ Alkmaar back on top in the Dutch football scene.
