AZ Falls Short Against Ajax: A Draw that Feels Like a Loss

omidbasir- AZ Alkmaar was unable to achieve victory against Ajax for the third time in a single season, resulting in a 1-1 draw. The Alkmaarders lost a potential win at the last moment, making the disallowed goal by Troy Parrott even more painful.

Alexandre Penetra expressed his doubts regarding the VAR intervention. Parrott believed he had increased the lead against Ajax, only for Ibrahim Sadiq to be ruled offside. “It’s strange. I don’t understand this,” Penetra remarked to the Noordhollands Dagblad. “Throughout the Eredivisie, as well as in leagues like the Premier League, players are often blocked during free kicks and corners without any fouls being called. Yet, today, that was not the case.”
