Groningen beat AZ 3-0 at the Euroborg, with Marvin Peersman's penalty setting up a commanding win before Thom van Bergen and Tygo Land struck after the break.

In the 36th minute, Marvin Peersman converted from the spot after Alexandre Penetra fouled Jorg Schreuders.

Younes Taha rattled the bar (56.). Moments later, Thom van Bergen finished a fast break (58.) from David van der Werff's pass.

Tygo Land then swept in from outside the box (76.), meeting Marco Rente's pass to add daylight.

Hidde Jurjus made seven saves, thwarting Troy Parrott and Ro Daal, as AZ pushed to respond.

AZ introduced Elijah Dijkstra and Billy van Duijl at the break, but the momentum stayed with the hosts.

Groningen registered 15 attempts with five on target. AZ tallied 16 attempts and seven on target but could not find a way past Jurjus.
