Dutch-born Ghanaian forward Jayden Addai delivered a match-winning performance, scoring twice to guide Jong AZ Alkmaar to a thrilling 2-1 comeback victory over Jong Ajax in a fiercely contested derby at Sportpark De Toekomst.

Jong Ajax took the lead just before halftime through a Jaydon Banel header, putting the hosts in control.

However, the game took a decisive turn when Jong Ajax's Ahmetcan Kaplan was shown a second yellow card, reducing his side to ten men.

Jong AZ capitalized on the advantage, and it was Jayden Addai who seized the moment.

The young forward leveled the score with a spectacular long-range strike in the 55th minute, turning the tide of the match.

Just three minutes later, Addai coolly slotted home a penalty to secure the victory for Jong AZ.

Addai's brace not only sealed a crucial win for his side but also extended Jong AZ's impressive record against their rivals, boasting eight wins and three draws from their past meetings.

Jong AZ will look to maintain their momentum as they prepare to face De Graafschap in their next league encounter on September 23.
