According to Voetbalzone, Gloukh made an unlucky impression in the top match, struggling to make an impact on the left wing. He failed to block shots and also made defensive mistakes. The Israeli player's frustration reached a boiling point in the 27th minute when he allowed Sergiño Dest, his direct opponent, to walk past him. This led to Guus Til getting a clear chance on goal, although his attempt ultimately went over the bar.
ESPN commentator Vincent Schildkamp observed that Gloukh effectively gave up and signaled to his teammates that he couldn't keep up with Dest. Schildkamp also noted that Gloukh simply didn't have the stamina to follow Dest throughout the match. The Ajax fans were not pleased with Gloukh's performance, with many calling for him to be substituted. There is a growing demand for Abdellah Ouazane, a 17-year-old talent who has been impressing in recent weeks, to replace Gloukh in the starting lineup.
