AZ won their semi-final on Thursday night 3-2 on penalties against first division side SC Cambuur, who had already seen off Ajax and Utrecht earlier in the competition. The match had ended 0-0 after extra time.
The final will take place on April 30 at the Kuip stadium in Rotterdam. Vitesse beat Sparta Rotterdam 1-2 on Wednesday evening to take the other final place.
