Now The Hague has regained the advantage. If the score persists, then The Hague will win this key battle.
All the players in The Hague were very happy, as if they had already seen the result of the game.
Alai played really well today and you can always see him.
He can serve as a fulcrum and grab points.
It's really good to have such a forward, and now he and Xu Qiang have developed a tacit understanding.
The Hague will definitely be even more terrifying next season, and they can even compete with teams from the five major leagues in the Europa League.
Time passed minute by second. Although The Hague was temporarily in the lead, the players could not relax their vigilance.
After all, one goal is not safe, and it is still possible that Alkmaar will equalize again.
AZ Alkmaar definitely has this ability, their two forwards are quite good.
Among them, forward Zheng Jinshan's performance was undoubtedly the best. Of course, he did waste several excellent opportunities.
For example, left winger Santos broke through with the ball, but was unable to break through his opponent Jin Qiang.
So he chose to pass the ball, and Zheng Jinshan volleyed the goal directly with his left foot.
As a result, he failed to hold down the football and ended up with the ball higher than the goal.
As time passed, the pressure on Alkmaar grew.
They were still thinking about overtaking before, but now they are still lagging behind.
Slowly, Alkmaar began to become more realistic, and it was enough to get one point away from home.
Even if there is little hope of overtaking The Hague in the standings, there is at least some hope.
If they lose, there will really be no chance at all, so Alkmaar once again stepped up its attack.
86 minutes have passed and there is not much time left for Alkmaar.
At this time, The Hague launched a counterattack. De Jong made a direct pass from mid-range and kicked the football towards Rafinha, who was near 45 degrees on the right side of the penalty area.
Rafinha also played well today, and the Brazilian winger is really useful.
Facing the defense of full-back Harper, Raphinha shook continuously and then suddenly cut inside the crossbar.
But this time Harps followed very closely, and he had no choice but to pass the ball.
But forward Allais hadn't caught up yet, and Harper, who was following him, came up.
At the same time, other players were defending in his direction, and Rafinha worked hard to protect the ball.
Facing a pressing situation, Raphinha turned around when he took the ball. Fortunately, he did so.
He noticed that right back Jin Qiang was following him and saw him running towards the right side of the penalty area.
Rafinha couldn't help but feel happy, Jin Qiang came at the right time.
So Rafinha passed the football to the right side of the penalty area. Jin Qiang saw Rafinha passing the ball and raised his ball as fast as possible.
Jin Qiang successfully received the pass on the right side outside the penalty area, and after passing the ball, Rafinha ran into the penalty area and began to run laterally towards the goal.
Jin Qiang noticed Rafinha's movement and saw him stop the football.
Harps, who was defending Rafinha before, rushed directly towards Jin Qiang. Jin Qiang ignored him and chose to pass the football into the penalty area.
His cross was not a high ball, but a low ball.
The football passed over Hapus, and Hapus did not expect Jin Qiang to handle it this way.
He couldn't react at all, the football had already passed him.
And Rafinha received the pass on the right side of the small penalty area. When they saw Rafinha taking the ball, all the Alkmaar players were shocked.
This position is too dangerous, and time is running out. If they lose the ball again, they will have no hope at all.
Harper, who had given up on him before, quickly turned around and pressed towards Raphinha again.
At this time, there is another defensive player in the small penalty area. He is Alkmaar's center back Vlaar.
Raphinha's original idea was to adjust the football to his left foot, open it up a little and then attack the goal with his left foot.
But Vlaar's positioning was very good, and because of his adjustment, Happs had already moved up, right behind Raphinha.
Raphinha stuck Harper with his back. Under such circumstances, Raphinha did not choose to fight hard.
He chose to pass the ball, and he passed the football near the penalty spot.
Because he noticed Alai's position, Alai finally followed him.
Allais is in very good condition today, and Rafinha knows this very well.
Ale saw Rafinha passing the ball and felt very calm inside.
The right foot was vigorously pumped towards the rolling football. Because Rafinha's position was too dangerous, their defensive attention was focused on Rafinha.
This actually resulted in the space around Alai, who directly met the ball and fired.
The football flew towards the upper left corner of the goal like a missile.
Alkmaar's goalkeeper Lochte didn't even make a save. There was nothing he could do about the ball.
He could only watch the football fly into the goal he was guarding, and then hit the net hard.
The Hague opened the score 3-1!
This was the goal that killed the game. This goal meant that Alkmaar had no hope.
There was not much time left, but they were still two goals behind.
After scoring, Allais once again ran to the sidelines, opened his arms and accepted the cheers of the fans.
Today Alai is definitely the biggest contributor to The Hague. He has become the hero of The Hague.
The fans in The Hague cheered loudly, and everyone knew what this victory meant.
The Hague is at least fourth in the league this season, and there is even hope of catching up.
Xue Yang, the head coach of The Hague, turned around to face the audience and opened his arms.
The fans did not hesitate in their applause and cheers, they thanked their head coach Xue Yang.
It was with Xue Yang's arrival that The Hague underwent earth-shaking changes.
The team from the lower reaches of the Eredivisie jumped to the upper reaches of the standings.
There will even be a Europa League next season, which is something that fans never thought of before Xue Yang came.
Although there is basically no hope for Alkmaar, Alkmaar does not want to give up.
They urged the game to restart quickly, and they were going to put all their efforts into it.
AZ Alkmaar was not willing to settle for fifth place in the league. Head coach Vanden Brom shouted excitedly on the sidelines.
Soon the game restarted, and with the third goal, The Hague's tactics changed.
He began to retreat to defend, which gave Vandenbrom an even greater headache.
Already lagging behind The Hague and even starting the bus, I have to say that Alkmaar's strength is indeed good.
An attack before the end of regular time is very threatening.
Unfortunately, The Hague was able to hold on in the end, and the referee signaled 4 minutes of stoppage time, which was also Alkmaar's last four minutes.
Unfortunately, by the end of the game, Alkmaar failed to score.
In the end, The Hague defeated Alkmaar 3-1!
