Ajax's Oscar Gloukh Records First Assist in Dominant 4-0 Dutch League Victory

Ajax, fresh off their Conference League qualification, returned to the Dutch Eredivisie with a resounding 4-0 away win against Telstar on Sunday, marking Oscar Gloukh's first assist of the season. The Israeli midfielder played 73 minutes, contributing to the team's dominant performance in the fourth round of the league.

Gloukh, who had been without a goal or assist in six previous matches across all competitions since a hat-trick in Conference League qualifiers, set up Steven Bergwijn for the third goal in the 56th minute. This assist came after Ajax had already taken a 2-0 lead, with Davy Klaassen scoring in the 37th minute from a corner, and Bergwijn himself adding the second goal on the stroke of halftime, assisted by Gloukh.

Despite Telstar creating dangerous counter-attacks, Ajax's goalkeeper Mark-Andre ter Stegen made crucial saves. The team's attacking prowess continued in the second half, with Tolu Arokodare scoring the third goal in the 60th minute after a steal by Klaassen. The fourth goal came just before the final whistle when substitute striker Myron Boadu capitalized on a rebound from a save by Telstar's goalkeeper, Ronald Koeman Jr., son of the legendary Dutch defender and coach.

With this victory, Ajax temporarily moves up to fourth place in the league standings with 7 points from 3 games. They are preparing for a significant match next Saturday against PSV Eindhoven, who are currently second with 10 points. AZ Alkmaar leads the league with a perfect 12 points after four games.
