Episode Details

AZ Alkmaar stunned PSV with a ruthless 4-0 victory in the Johan Cruyff Shield opener, thanks to an early red card for Joey Veerman and relentless attacking play. The Dutch giants were left shell-shocked after Veerman’s ninth-minute dismissal for a high boot, which VAR confirmed as a straight red. AZ capitalized immediately, with Mexx Meerdink scoring despite a cut behind his ear from the incident. After halftime, they struck twice more — Weslley Patati and Elijah Dijkstra — before Daal sealed it with a penalty. PSV, down to ten men, struggled to mount any real threat, while coach Peter Bosz tried to spin it as a defensive training opportunity. A crushing start to the season for PSV, but AZ showed why they’re contenders.
