Ruben van Bommel starred for AZ, scoring twice to help his team secure a comfortable 3-0 victory over RKC Waalwijk. The winger hit the post in the 15th minute before finding the net in the 31st and 36th minutes, capitalizing on assists from Ibrahim Sadiq and Jordy Clasie, respectively. Mexx Meerdink added a third goal late in the game to seal the deal. RKC’s Michiel Kramer, who had been suspended for walking off training last week, entered the game as a substitute and was shown a red card after appearing to elbow Peer Koopmeiners in the face. With this win, AZ remains undefeated with 10 points from their first four league games, while RKC, who are yet to earn a point, remain at the bottom of the table.
