Israeli Forward Oscar Gloukh Scores Hat-Trick for Ajax in Dominant Win

Israeli footballer Oscar Gloukh celebrated a remarkable hat-trick for Ajax in their recent match against Serbian club Vojvodina. The game, held on July 30, 2026, ended 4-1 in favor of Ajax, contributing to a 8-2 aggregate victory over the two legs. Gloukh, who had already scored in the first leg, was named player of the match for his outstanding performance.

Reflecting on his goals, Gloukh expressed uncertainty about which was his favorite, highlighting the second goal as a special moment since it was scored instinctively using the outside of his foot, a technique he often uses for passing but never before for scoring.

He praised the coaching staff for their clear tactical instructions and acknowledged the team's hard work and progress in both pressing and ball control.

Concluding, Gloukh expressed his gratitude to his teammates, stating that the hat-trick was a special achievement and the second of his career. He plans to keep the match ball as a memento. The promising start to the 2026/2027 season suggests a positive outlook for Gloukh and Ajax moving forward.
