After Beautiful Tribute to Bartina Koeman, Meerdink Secures Win and Top Spot for AZ
AZ defeated Telstar 1-0 in the North Holland derby to reclaim the Eredivisie leadership from PSV. Mexx Meerdink scored the only goal in the 19th minute. The match included a tribute to Bartina Koeman, who died at age 65, with play paused in the 12th minute. Ronald Koeman Jr., Telstar’s goalkeeper and Bartina’s son, was visibly emotional but helped his team avoid defeat despite AZ’s pressure.
