After the Diamond lead, you know that West has not got AK of Hearts therefore East has one of those cards and nothing else.
Before the defenders can sort their signals you need to knock out the Club Ace so you can take a discard on the top Club in dummy.
So at trick two, before touching trumps, you play the Club Queen which West takes. Still not prepared to play from his AQ of Hearts, West gets off lead with a neutral trump.
Now it’s a matter of drawing trumps in three rounds ending in dummy with the Ace in order to cash the winning Club discarding a Heart. You now give up a Diamond and 2 clubs and claim 9 tricks for a very good MATCH Point score- 5 trumps, 3 Diamonds and 1 Club
