Hat-trick in 18 minutes: Oscar Gloukh's massive show in Ajax's victory
Israeli midfielder Oscar Gloukh delivered a stunning performance, scoring a hat-trick in just 18 minutes during Ajax's 1:4 victory over Vojvodina in the Conference League qualifiers.
Oscar Gloukh began the previous season with quite a few ups and downs on a personal and team level, but the form he is showing at the start of the current season suggests the Israeli midfielder for Ajax is on the rise. This Thursday, in the second leg of the Conference League qualifiers against Serbian side Vojvodina, Gloukh provided a wonderful solo performance and led his team to a crushing 1:4 victory (8:2 on aggregate).
The show began in the 53rd minute: Gloukh received a ball from Mika Godts in the center of the box and sent a powerful shot directly into the top corner. Only five minutes later, the midfielder shook the net again — this time with a polished finish from outside the box with the outside of his foot into the far corner. Gloukh provided the cherry on top in the 71st minute, when he connected to a cross in the center of the box and blasted the ball into the top of the net. The goal capped a spectacular hat-trick in just 18 minutes — the second hat-trick in the young player's career, and his first in the colors of the Dutch club.
The Dutch media were not indifferent to the Israeli's performance, and the website 'Inside020' complimented: "Gloukh scores again and again. He proves himself as a critical key player every time Ajax steps onto the pitch in European competition."
