ALKMAAR, August 31 (Eredivisie) - AZ Alkmaar moved up to fourth in the Eredivisie after a 3-0 win over Excelsior on Friday night. AZ made short shrift of disposing of their opponents with goals from Kemy Agustien, Gretar Rafn Steinsson and Demy de Zeeuw. In the eighth minute Moussa Demble flew down the right wing and crossed to Ari Ferreira, whose low shot was safely gathered by waiting Excelsior goalkeeper Ronald Graafland. Five minutes later Ferreira had another chance, this time shooting over the crossbar after another Demble set-up. They took the lead in the 24th minute.A long ball from Maarten Martens saw Graafland come way out of his goal to try and claim the ball, but Augestein beat him to it and shot into an open net. On the stroke of half-time they doubled their lead, Marteens' corner was only cleared as far as Augestein, and his shot from the edge of the area was deflected in by Steinsson. They wrapped up the win 17 minutes into the second period.Martens again was the instigator, playing the ball through to the unmarked De Zeeuw and he kept his shot low to beat Graafland. Excelsior had had few chances but nine minutes from time they had a chance to narrow the deficit, Tjeed Korf breaking through on the left but watched his shot tipped away for a corner. The AZ fans had more to cheer after the game as the club announced they had signed Mounir El Hamdaoui on a five-year contract from Willem II. He will step into the shoes of Danny Koevermans, who has left to join PSV.

UEFA Nations league Serbia 2-0 Switzerland - Highlights and news 13.10.2024

 Serbia drove through Nico Elvedi's own objective in first-half stoppage time and Aleksandar Mitrovic multiplied the benefit before Predrag Rajkovic saved a punishment from Swiss striker Breel Embolo. Serbia took a giant stride towards survival in the UEFA Nations League top-flight by securing a 2-0 victory over near rivals Switzerland - their first-ever head-to-head win. With  Serbia  and  Switzerland  essentially competing against each other to avoid relegation from Group A4, you’d have been forgiven for expecting a brighter start from two sides desperate to beat the other. It turned out to be quite the opposite though, as the only bright spot in an incredibly dull start came when  Veljko Birmancevic ’s tame effort was easily gathered by  Gregor Kobel . It took until just after the half-hour mark for the game's first big chance to arrive, but it was wasted by  Breel Embolo  who skewed wide after he was teed up by  Silvan Widmer . That ...

One and only...Michael Laudrup... 09.28.2024 news and highlights

 Michael Laudrup, a former Danish national team player and player for Juventus, Barcelona and Real Madrid, refused to go to the European Football Championship in 1992 in protest at the expulsion of Yugoslavia, which was better in the qualifiers. Namely, Yugoslavia was first in the qualification group, and Denmark was second. He said then that neither he nor his national team deserved to replace a better team, the one that won it on the field, the country still called Yugoslavia at the time. To make the irony even greater, the Danes then won the championship by defeating Germany. When asked if he regrets not being part of the team that won the European Championship, he only briefly stated: "Senseless question, a great injustice was done to Yugoslavia."
