**Which AZ Alkmaar player made the most interceptions?**

Peer Koopmeiners led AZ Alkmaar with 3 interceptions in the 2–0 victory. Breaking up passing lanes before opponents advance often explains control far beyond the scoreline.

### How is the rating calculated?

The rating measures a single match: what the player produced against what they cost, compared with the average for their position in that league and season, and adjusted by position (a 70 for a forward is as hard to get as a 70 for a defender). A normal match is around 50, 70 is already very good and only one in a hundred goes above 80. It is not the NVP, which ranks the whole season.
