Twente win 2-0 at AZ Alkmaar with late goals after a goalless 83 minutes
Twente beat AZ Alkmaar 2-0 at AFAS Stadion in Eredivisie matchday 10, with both goals arriving in the final six minutes. The sides had been level at 0-0 at half-time and remained locked together until Sondre Ørjasæter broke the deadlock in the 84th minute.
AI-assisted match report written from official match data.
Ørjasæter's goal was set up by Younes Taha and gave the visitors the lead after a game of few clear openings. Four minutes later Twente were reduced to ten men when Daouda Weidmann was shown a red card, and AZ pushed forward in search of an equaliser.
The extra space told in Twente's favour. In the 90+3 minute Joël Drommel supplied the pass for Lucas Vennegoor of Hesselink, who made it 0-2 and ended the contest. Twente moved from sixth to fourth in the table, while AZ, third before kick-off, dropped to fifth, level on 20 points.
Oddsivio's pre-match forecast had given Twente a 23% chance of winning. Twente next travel to Excelsior in the Eredivisie on Sunday 1 November, while AZ are away to Ajax the day before.
Joël Drommel registered an assist for Vennegoor of Hesselink's late second goal and earned the highest rating of the match at 8.43. Ørjasæter, rated 8.2, scored the opener.
Twente managed 16 shots to AZ's 13, even though they played the closing stages with ten men.

Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave AZ Alkmaar 51%, the draw 26%, Twente 23%. It finished AZ Alkmaar 0–2 Twente.
AZ Alkmaar edge it on strength rating — We give AZ Alkmaar 51% mainly because our strength rating has them a shade stronger, 1700 to 1656, with the usual home advantage adding to that. The draw sits at 26%, close to the usual rate for a gap this size, nudged down slightly because both sides' own recent games average 3.1 goals.
Why AZ Alkmaar at 51%?
AZ Alkmaar sit 44 points higher on our strength rating — 1700 to 1656. Sides with a 40–80-point rating edge at home won 50.1% of 11,082 such games.
Why only 51%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 51% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 26% and Twente at 23%.
Why the draw at 26%?

What did we measure but not count?
AZ Alkmaar are unbeaten in their last 11 home Eredivisie games: 7 wins and 4 draws. The run began on 8 February 2026. Last recorded home league defeat: 31 January 2026 — AZ Alkmaar 1–3 NEC Nijmegen. Latest home league result: 20 September 2026 — AZ Alkmaar 1–0 Telstar. Across 16,107 historical matches following an unbeaten home league run of at least six games, hosts won 55.4%, compared with 54.5% expected from team strength. Out: Lars Unnerstall, an important player and Twente's first-choice goalkeeper. In the past games we have checked, a missing first-choice goalkeeper made no measurable difference, so this stays at 0 points. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
