AZ beats Twente, opening door to Ajax for league title
An FC Twente own goal in the eighth minute gave AZ of Alkmaar a 1-0 victory in their crucial league tie on Tuesday night. It was only the second defeat for Twente out of 32 matches this season, but enough to allow Ajax to move just one point behind in the premier league leader.
Ajax takes on Willem II on Wednesday night.
If Ajax wins, it will mean both sides have everything to play for up until the end of the competition. Twente takes on number four in the league Feyenoord next weekend.
Meanwhile, RKC Waalwijk’s relegation became inevitable on Tuesday night following a 4-1 loss to Heracles of Almelo. Waalwijk joined the premier league last season after winning the first division play-offs.
