Israeli player Oscar Gloukh was instrumental in Ajax's 2-0 lead against Groningen in a top-of-the-table Dutch league match on Sunday. The second goal, scored by Aron Bouwman, originated from a corner kick taken by Gloukh. While Gloukh, 22, was not directly credited with an assist as the ball was subsequently passed to Davy Klaassen before the goal, Dutch media highlighted his contribution. The publication Inside noted, "It all started with Gloukh," adding that "Davy Klaassen converted the goal, but it was a great corner. Groningen had no choice."
