Devin Haen equalised in the 81st minute with a composed left-footed finish, earning Willem II a 1-1 draw away to AZ.

Before the interval he was already troubling the defence, seeing a header blocked (45.). Moments later he nodded another chance off target from the centre of the area.

After the restart he continued to win his duels and then timed his run to meet Uriel van Aalst's through ball, slotting into the bottom right (81.). It was the payoff to an evening of persistent movement on the shoulder.

Haen finished with four attempts, five aerial duels won and five touches in the box, underscoring a penalty-area display built on positioning and perseverance.

Because Willem II found him early down the channels and mixed in direct service from wide areas, his runs kept the back line turning and ensured the visitors posed a constant threat.

Willem II visit Ajax next. AZ travel to Sunderland in the Europa League.
