  • Referee Joey Kooij checked VAR for a potential handball in stoppage time, leading to a penalty that Wout Weghorst converted to secure the 2-2 draw.
  • The Wolverhampton Wanderers loanee has become a vital asset in Amsterdam, boasting 13 goals and four assists in 17 appearances across all competitions.
