Ajax secured a dominant 5-2 victory over Groningen in their Dutch League clash on Sunday, with Israeli star Oskar Gloukh featuring in the starting lineup. Gloukh played on the left wing, with Julian Brandt on the right and Markus Leonardo leading the attack for Ajax, who were missing several key players including Daley Blind and Steven Berghuis.
The match saw an early setback for Ajax in the 10th minute when captain Davy Klaassen missed a penalty after Gloukh's pass led to a foul on Markus Leonardo. Goalkeeper Etienne Vaessen saved Klaassen's shot. However, Ajax took the lead in the 27th minute through Brandt, who scored from a difficult angle. Just before halftime, in the 37th minute, Aaron Bauman doubled Ajax's lead from a rebound after Vaessen saved Klaassen's shot from a Gloukh corner.
In the second half, Groningen pulled one back in the 49th minute with a goal from Brynjolfur Willumsson. Ajax thought they had scored a third in the 56th minute, but the goal was disallowed for an offside call on Gloukh. Brandt completed his brace in the 60th minute, making it 3-1. Gloukh's corner in the 70th minute set up another goal, this time for Jorrt Muki, who scored from the rebound to make it 4-1. Klaassen then assisted Muki for his second goal in the 75th minute, extending Ajax's lead to 5-1.
Groningen managed to score a second goal in the 84th minute through Tom van Bergen, who capitalized on a rebound. The final score was 5-2 in favor of Ajax, who are currently fifth in the Dutch League standings with 15 points, one point ahead of sixth-placed Groningen.
