Rob: [That's a warning sign! Gorter got caught, and VVV almost made them pay]
Benjamin shook his head. They had to be sharper.
AZ Alkmaar regained control, knocking the ball around midfield, looking for an opening.
Martens checked over his shoulder before rolling a pass to Henriksen, who quickly shifted it wide to Guðmundsson.
Chris: [Guðmundsson now, one-on-one with Joppen… He's got space to drive forward!"
Rob: [This is where he's dangerous. Can he deliver?]
Guðmundsson feinted left before cutting inside, skipping past Joppen with ease. He lifted his head, spotted Altidore making a run, and whipped in a teasing cross—
Chris: [Altidore's there!]
Rob: [He gets a head on it… but Mäenpää collects! Comfortable for the keeper in the end]
Benjamin exhaled, fingers tapping against his knee. That was better. More direct.
