"And although Troy Parrott's club side, AZ Alkmaar, came through this test in the Conference League as victors, they did so without a goal from their leading man, as they struck through Mees de Wit's header on 70 minutes and a superb strike by sub Isak Jensen three minutes from time."
"Just like any franchise, we can't expect the Troy Story to keep churning out sequels with the same levels of quality."
AZ Alkmaar defeated Shelbourne 2-0 in a UEFA Conference League fixture. Troy Parrott started but failed to score despite being the side's leading forward. Mees de Wit gave Alkmaar the lead with a header in the 70th minute. Substitute Isak Jensen secured the result with a superb strike three minutes from time. Alkmaar showed squad depth by finding decisive goals from a defender and a substitute rather than relying on their main striker. Shelbourne struggled to breach Alkmaar's defense or convert chances, leaving Alkmaar to claim victory without Parrott scoring.
