Oscar Gloukh Assists in Ajax's Dominant Win, Commits to Club

Israeli midfielder Oscar Gloukh recorded his first assist of the 2026/27 season, contributing to Ajax's decisive 4-0 away victory against Telstar on Sunday. This performance ended a six-game streak across all competitions without a goal or assist for Gloukh, whose last significant contribution was a hat-trick against Vojvodina in the Conference League qualifiers.

Gloukh's assist came during a crucial transition play early in the second half. After receiving the ball quickly, he demonstrated patience, waiting for an opening before finding Steven Berghuis. Berghuis then skillfully beat a defender and scored with a powerful shot using his weaker foot, extending Ajax's lead to 2-0.

Dutch media outlets praised Gloukh's contribution. Ajax Showtime noted his patience and the quality of his pass, while Inside020 highlighted his ability to find Berghuis after a strong run into the box by Tolo Arokodare.

Amidst recent speculation about a potential transfer, Gloukh publicly stated his commitment to Ajax for the upcoming season. In an interview with Dutch media prior to the match, he expressed comfort under new coach Michel and a desire to improve his game with the club.
