The intensity on the pitch skyrocketed. Twente were fueled by Fer's goal and pressed relentlessly, snapping into tackles, closing spaces, forcing AZ Alkmaar back.
[You can feel the momentum shifting,] Erik said. [Twente are back in this, and they know it!]
Brama led the charge, winning a crucial midfield battle against Henriksen before releasing the ball to Tadić. The Serbian maestro weaved past Marcellis with a clever body feint and accelerated down the left.
[Here comes Tadić again,] Ronald said. [He's been Twente's brightest spark tonight!]
Tadić cut inside, dragging defenders with him before slipping a pass into the 18 yard box. Castaignos, perfectly timed, latched onto it and fired—
But Alvarado was there again! The keeper spread himself wide, blocking the shot with his chest before scrambling to smother the loose ball.
[Unbelievable from Alvarado!] Erik roared. [He is keeping AZ Alkmaar ahead almost single-handedly!]
