Due to the small lead, it remained incredibly exciting in Oss. This was confirmed once again after Loek Postma cleared a ball in front of the goal line. A little later, Jong AZ seemed to be able to cheer through substitute Ricuenio Kewal. However, he shot the ball onto the post. TOP Oss got away well, but so did Jong AZ. Giovanni Korte also poked the ball onto the post from close range.
The Alkmaar promises defended the minimal lead tooth and nail. For this, Mischa Engel had once again removed the ball in front of the line. Konstantinos Doumtsios also aimed the ball just wide moments later. Eight more minutes of injury time were added and TOP Oss scored via Grad Damen: 1-1.
The draw leaves Jong AZ in seventh place. NAC Breda can still take over that place from the Alkmaarders, they will play against Jong PSV on Sunday. Jong AZ will play the last home game of the season against MVV next week. You can of course follow that match live in NH Sport.
Jong AZ line-up: Owusu-Oduro; Van Aken, Berkhout, Engel, Dekkers; Postma, Kalisvaart (Kerssens/75), Smit; Addai (Kewal/64), Reverso (Koster/64), Daal
