AZ saw off Utrecht 1:0 on Saturday in the third round of the women's Eredivisie. The match took place at the AZ stadium on 6 September 2026. The result leaves the hosts sitting second in the table with six points from two games.
Utrecht remain seventh with just one point from their opening two fixtures. They have yet to secure a victory this season, and this defeat extends that run. To be fair, the gap between the two sides is already visible in the standings.
AZ's recent form suggests confidence coming into this fixture. They beat Feyenoord 2:1 and ADO Den Haag 2:1 in their last two Eredivisie matches. Utrecht's results tell a different story — a loss to Ajax and a draw against another side.
By then, the home side had already shown they could compete at this level. The win keeps them within reach of the top positions, while Utrecht face a longer climb. One point separates the hosts from the leaders, and that remains the target.
