JAKARTA - SC Heerenveen submerged Ajax Amsterdam 3-2 in the 21st match of the Eredivisie 2023/2024 at Abe Lenstra Stadium, Sunday, February 11, 2024.

Thom Haye, one of the prospective naturalized players of the Indonesian national team, played an important role in that match.

He played full and got a 7.5 rating from WhoScored. Thom Haye only lost to Pelle van Amersfoort who scored a brace against Ajax.

Thom Haye even almost scored Heerenveen's goal if his straight free kick didn't hit the post.

Apart from Thom Haye, it turns out that there is the name Nathan Tjoe-A-On who also appeared in that match.

However, Nathan played as a substitute in the 89th minute. He came on to replace Osame Sahraoui who was Heerenveen's second goalscorer.

However, Nathan helped Heerenveen to maintain his lead when Ajax was looking for an equalizer goal. He also got a 6 in his brief appearance.

As is known, Nathan moved to Heerenveen as a loan player from Swansea City on January 25, 2024. He was borrowed by Heerenveen until Eredivisie 2023/2024 finished. The match against Ajax was his debut with Heerenveen.

Nathan is in the process of naturalizing with Haye. He initially underwent citizenship with Jay Idzes.

However, Idzes had the status of an Indonesian citizen because Nathan had not had time to take the oath. At that time, the 22-year-old defender could not take the oath of Indonesian citizens with Idzes because he was still defending his club, Swansea.

Chances are, Nathan and Haye's naturalization steps will be accompanied. Haye has undergone various processes and is just waiting for the DPR RI's decision with Ragnar Oratmangoen.
