Goals from Adam Maher and Jozy Altidore help AZ Alkmaar claim their fourth KNVB Beker Cup.

AZ Alkmaar have won the KNVB Beker Cup after defeating PSV Eindhoven 2-1 in the final.

Gertjan Verbeek's side got off to the ideal start when Adam Maher opened the scoring with a superb solo effort in the 12th minute.

It was 2-0 less than two minutes later as USA international Jozy Altidore clipped the ball past PSV goalkeeper Boy Waterman to claim his eighth goal of the season.

PSV pulled one back through Jurgen Locadia just after the half-hour mark, but they were unable to find an equaliser and prevent AZ from clinching the Dutch cup for a fourth time.
