The home side took charge from the beginning but squandered a number of chances, until just before the half hour mark Gudelj sent an excellent strike past Martin Hansen from 30 yards.
ADO Den Haag came into the game after the goal with Oleksandr Iakovenko causing danger, while Danny Bakker sent a header just wide. Ten minutes into the second half the visitors were level when Wilson Eduardo took advantage of slack play from AZ before beating Esteban.
However ADO Den Haag’s parity didn’t last long as five minutes after equalising Derrick Luckassen scored a lovely free kick to put AZ back in front, and Gudelj sealed the win on 65 minutes, finishing off a good pass from Aron Johannsson.
AZ have now sealed their place in the end of season play-offs, and move temporarily above Vitesse into fourth. ADO Den Haag sit 12th.
