AZ and Twente victorious in Eredivisie

Dutch champions AZ Alkmaar cruised to a 0-6 hammering of RKC Waalwijk while FC Twente earned a narrow win at ADO Den Haag.

Mounir El Hamdaoui put AZ ahead after 15 minutes at newly promoted RKC, who managed to keep the damage limited until half time.

But after the break, the hosts could no longer resist AZ’s strength. Moussa Dembele made it 0-2 in the 52nd minute and a cross from El Hamdaoui was deflected into his own goal by Hans Mulder in the 67th.

Belgian Maarten Martens added goals in the 75th and 79th minutes, for Jeremain Lens to make it 0-6 in the 82nd.

FC Twente didn’t have such an easy night at ADO Den Haag, but did walk away with the victory thanks to a 64th-minute goal from Blaise N’Kufo. ADO did push for an equaliser but failed.

Although some matches are still to be played on Sunday, Twente are currently in first place while AZ follow in second.
