Milos Kerkez isn’t surprised that AZ Alkmaar found it so easy against Dundee United.
The tangerines went into Thursday night’s Europe Conference League third qualifying round second leg with a narrow 1-0 lead earned after an impressive display at Tannadice the previous week. But it all fell apart in humiliating fashion for Jack Ross ’ team, who found themselves 5-0 down and out of the competition by half-time in te AMAS Stadion.
A nightmare 23-minute spell saw them concede five goals as ruthless AZ put them to the sword, rendering Glenn Middleton ’s stunning first leg strike a distant memory as some of the travelling contingent who made the trip over to the Netherlands heading for the exits well before full-time. They missed another two second half goals for the hosts, who truthfully could have scored more and ensure that United not only matched the record for a worst ever Scottish European defeat, but smashed it.
