AZ Alkmaar were probably seconds away from lifting the Dutch KNVB Beker in the 2025 finals against Go Ahead Eagles. A Troy Parrott penalty was cancelled by a Mats Deijl penalty in the 99th minute. The Northern Holland team fell short on penalties by losing 4-2. Maarten Martens' men's defeat was their fourth loss in the Cup final. After triumphing four times in 1978, 1981, 1982, and 1983, they are aiming for a fifth title now under Lee-Roy Echteld. The Cheese Farmers are in decent form domestically after getting knocked out of the Conference League. They allowed Go Ahead Eagles to lift their first title last season and will be hopeful of stopping another team from lifting their maiden title.
NEC Nijmegen is a free-scoring team in the Eredivisie. With 72 goals, they are the second-highest scoring team in the league and are competing for a Champions League spot. It is worth noting that they have also conceded 48 goals, fully embracing the live and die by the sword approach of Dick Shreuder's. With a fluid 3-2-5, they are blowing teams away and did the domestic double in the Eredivisie over AZ with 2-1 and 3-1 victories. With three stellar victories in their last five and a solid draw against Feyenoord, they will be keen to go all the way in the KNVB Beker final. Having lost the final five times in 1973, 1983, 1994, 2000, and 2024, Schreuder will etch his name into history books if he can get his side over the finish line.
