Goals from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/PSV-c40281 Eindhoven on the Eredivisie table.
AZ Alkmaar missed the opportunity to reclaim the top spot in the league table after they were defeated 2-0 by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roda-JC-c40375 Kerkrade on match-day 19 at Parkstad Limburg Stadion on Saturday, January 28.
The hosts started the match impressively and stunned the Alkmaar outfit with their dominant midfield performance. In the 10th minute, Mads Junker delivered an inch-perfect cross from the left flank for Sanharib Malki, and he did not miss the opportunity
to hit the back of the net from 10 yards.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brett-Holman-c8047 upfront. The Australian ace’s left footed effort went straight to Roda goalkeeper, Pawel
Kieszek, who did well to deny the ball from going over the goal line.
In the 33rd minute, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mitchell-Donald-c26101 played an impressive one-two before passing the ball to Junker in the box, who nudged the ball into the net from close range with ease.
After going two goals down, the Alkmaar outfit tried to make a comeback. However, they continued to struggle going forward, though they did well to restrict the home side from extending their lead further.
The second-half commenced in the same manner with the hosts mounting immense pressure on the AZ defence. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Davy-De-Beule-c10699 must have thought for a moment that his effort hds found the back of the net in the 49th minute, but the AZ goalkeeper Esteban
Alvarado made a brilliant save to keep his side’s hopes of making a comeback alive.
Moments later, Malki had the chance to further extend his side’s lead, but his shot rattled the crossbar from point-blank range and went out for a goal-kick.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jozy-Altidore-c19634 should have pulled one back for AZ in the 63rd minute, when he went one-on-one against the hosts goalkeeper. However, he fired straight at Kieszek and the chance went begging.
The Kerkrade outfit then slowed down the tempo and dominated much of the ball possession, restricting the title-contenders to half-chances. When the referee blew the final whistle to end proceedings at Parkstad Limburg Stadion, the hosts bagged all three
points with a 2-0 win.
Roda JC remained unmoved at the ninth spot after the win. However, AZ’s title hopes were seriously damaged by the defeat. They drop down to third place in the league table, level on points with second placed http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Twente-c39233, who enjoy a superior goal difference.
