Ole Romeny, Philip Brittijn and Shiloh 't Zand have also played key roles, contributing with goals and assists to fuel Fortuna Sittard’s attack.

Meanwhile, the attacking efforts of AZ, under the tactical direction of Leeroy Echteld, have been driven by Ro-Zangelo Daal, the team’s primary goal threat, and Peer Koopmeiners, both of whom have delivered in crucial moments.
