That is to say, three midfielders, namely SEM Steijn (24), Malik Tillman (12) and Ismael Saibari (11), were further bagged, but defeated AZ in a penalty in the April KNVB Beker Final at De Kuip, landing the club&#8217;s first silverware.<\/p>\n<p>This has led them to win this season in the Europa League.
