Israeli midfielder Oscar Gloukh is garnering significant praise in the Netherlands following his performance in Ajax's 2-2 draw against Twente. Gloukh was instrumental in the match, providing the key passes for both of Ajax's goals. Despite his contributions, Ajax failed to secure a victory and missed an opportunity to climb to the top of the Eredivisie standings.
Journalist Henk Spaan of Het Parool awarded Gloukh a score of 8, highlighting his near-flawless play, particularly in the first half. Spaan noted Gloukh's crucial role in setting up the opening goal and his assist for the second, stating, "Gloukh made almost no mistakes."
