Red-hot Olunga bags brace as purple patch continues

Harambee Stars captain Michael Olunga continued with his purple patch in the Qatar Stars League as he scored on two occasions yet again to help his Al Duhail side record a 0-4 drubbing of opponents Al Rayyan in a league match played on Saturday evening.Staged at the Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium, Al Duhail only needed 21 minutes to open the scoring as South Korean international Tae-Hee Nam poked in an inch perfect cross from close range to give his side the lead.Four minutes before the two teams went into the break, Olunga ensured his side got into the breather with some cushion as he drove in a first time shot into the back of the net to give Duhail the 0-2 lead at half time.Great team effort @DuhailSC @EdmilsonJr221 +3points +2goals pic.twitter.com/PCUCSR5zyr— MICHAEL OLUNGA (@OgadaOlunga) February 5, 2022 In the second half, Olunga would bag his brace just eight minutes upon resumption of the second period when a perfect team breakaway got the former Gor Mahia man in acres of space and one on one with the Rayyan goalkeeper.The Kenyan marksman did not make any mistakes as he converted Abdelrahman Fahmi’s inch perfect delivery for the team’s third goal.🎥 Olunga @AlrayyanSC 0-[3] @DuhailSC #QNBstarsLeague pic.twitter.com/DR5MLOBpyi— Qatar Stars League (@QSL_EN) February 5, 2022 Mohammed Musa got the job done with aplomb as he nailed a free kick directly into the back of the net to seal the 0-4 away win.For Olunga, the two goals – his 18th and 19th of the season in seventeen matches – took him seven clear of his next challenger Andrew Ayew who has twelve to his name.
