Altidore scores twice to lead AZ to Dutch Cup Final, ties Dempsey mark for goals in a European season

Jozy Altidore just keeps on scoring goals.

The U.S. Men’s National Team Forward just enjoyed one of the best games of his career, scoring two goals and delivering an assist in AZ’s 3-0 Dutch Cup semifinal win vs. Ajax on Wednesday.

The goals increased Altidore’s season total to 23 in all competitions, with 16 coming in Eredivisie play and the other seven coming in Dutch Cup action.
