In Sunday's impactful Eredivisie match, AZ Alkmaar muscled their way to a compelling 4-0 win over SBV Excelsior, in a structured and systematic performance that demonstrated not only their superiority, but also their tactical proficiency.

The data paints a picture of the match that was overwhelmingly dominated by AZ Alkmaar. They tallied 4 goals in total with 3 coming in the first half, all within a span of 11 minutes, between the 14th and 25th minutes. The scoring routine began early in the game and Excelsior seemed unable to adjust their defensive strategy, which in turn had significant bearing on the rest of the match. The fourth goal hammered in the 73rd minute of the second half effectively sealed the victory.

AZ Alkmaar's ability to strike with such precision, notably during the first half, is significant. It shows that Alkmaar knew when to attack and where to apply offensive pressure. The team's overall statistics align perfectly with this offensive surge, highlighted by the fact that they also managed to acquire 3 corner kicks - another sign of their aggressive attacking strategy.

On the contrary, the data shows that SBV Excelsior struggled throughout the entire match, failing to record any corner kicks, which gives us considerable insight into their offensive struggles. Excelsior's only notable mark on the scoresheet came in the 82nd minute of the second half in the form of a yellow card. This being their sole representation indicates a difficult day on the field marred by issues not only with their offense, but also their discipline.

What rounded off AZ’s dominance was their discipline. They did not receive any yellow or red card, allowing them to maintain their numerical strength throughout the match which ultimately translated into a balanced and controlled match performance.

In conclusion, the difference between the two teams can be seen clearly in their approach to the game, their execution, and most importantly, the end result. AZ Alkmaar's heavy onslaught proves that they were superior in terms of creating impactful opportunities, superior in their decisive finishing and embedding a disciplined style of play that stood out in stark contrast to SBV Excelsior's more chaotic performance.
