AZ Alkmaar were defeated 2-1 in the first leg against Bodo/Glimt, with a 91st-minute penalty proving to be the difference between them on the day, which left the club frustrated.

Away from home, the hosts were able to open up the scoring through Amahl Pellegrino, but Zakaria Aboukhlal brought his team back into things until the very end, when Ola Solbakken converted from 12 yards.

The late goal could end up proving vital in this fixture, and Pascal Jansen's men were unable to respond when they competed at the weekend, suffering another loss, this time against FC Twente.

A second-half finish from Joshua Brenet was enough to separate the two teams on the day, and Alkmaar will now be keen to get themselves back to winning ways in midweek.

The squad will take confidence from the fact they are undefeated at home in Europe this season, not conceding a single goal during their three group games either, and repeating that form could be crucial.



译文(自动翻译仅供参考):

阿兹阿尔克马尔在首回合对阵博多/格里姆特时2-1落败，91分钟的点球证明了他们之间的差异，这让俱乐部感到沮丧。

在客场，东道主佩莱格里诺(Amahl Pellegrino)创造了进球机会，但扎卡里亚•阿布克拉尔(Zakaria Aboukhlal)将球队带回了局面，直到最后一刻，奥拉•索尔巴肯(Ola Solbakken)在12码处进球。

最后的进球可能会在这场比赛中起到至关重要的作用，帕斯卡·詹森的球队在周末的比赛中没有做出回应，又输了一场，这次是对阵特温特。

乔舒亚·布里内特下半场的进球足以将两支球队分开，阿尔克马尔现在渴望在周中回到胜利的道路上。

这支球队将从本赛季主场欧战不败的事实中获得信心，在三场小组赛中也没有失球，重复这种状态可能是至关重要的。
