AZ Alkmaar are out of the Conference League after they could only manage a 2-2 draw with Shakhtar in the second leg. The Ukrainian side go through 5-2 on aggregate.

With one eye on the KNVB Cup final at the weekend, AZ Alkmaar rested a number of players with the tie all but over following the first leg last week.

The first half was a poor affair but after an hour it was Shakhtar who took the lead when Alisson Santana finished off a swift counter.

Isak Jensen equalised for AZ with an excellent free kick before Matej Sin put the hosts ahead with ten minutes to go. Shakhtar squished any hope of a big finish when Luca Meirelles made it 2-2.

AZ Alkmaar is out and they can focus on the cup final this weekend against NEC Nijmegen.
