AZ Alkmaar pulled level against FC Groningen on Sunday afternoon, with Mexx Meerdink finding the net inside the first ten minutes of the Eredivisie fixture, according to De Telegraaf. The equaliser came shortly after Groningen had taken the lead, leaving the score at 1-1.
De Telegraaf reported that Meerdink's goal restored parity almost immediately after AZ had made a poor start to the match. RTV Noord also noted that Groningen's advantage did not last long before AZ scored. NH Nieuws described the equaliser as a rapid recovery from the home side's difficult opening.
AD.nl reported that AZ, having drawn level through Meerdink, were pushing for a lead of their own. The match was carried as a live broadcast by OOG Groningen, which listed the fixture among its Sunday coverage.
The reporting available does not specify the minute of Groningen's opening goal, the scorer, or any further details of Meerdink's strike. No final result was confirmed in the material available at the time of publication.
The Eredivisie round continues, and the remaining question is whether AZ can turn their quick response into a winning position, or whether Groningen can re-establish their early advantage.
