Harambee Stars captain Michael Olunga was on target as Al Duhail hammered the visiting Umm-Salal 6-1 in a league match on Wednesday evening.The former Gor Mahia forward leads the scoring chart and race for the golden boot with 24 goals from 19 league outings, with his closest challenger for the golden boot Andre Ayew scoring nine fewer as of now with one match left to play to the conclusion of the campaign for Olunga.Duhail scored six goals for the second time in the ending campaign, the first one being in the 6-0 win over Al-Ahli Doha in which the Kenyan was on target once also.The striker was withdrawn after 75 minutes alongside former Tottenham Hotspurs defender Toby Alderweireld and their places taken up by Rashid Al Abdulla and Bassam Al-Rawi.Good effort team @DuhailSC pic.twitter.com/7HLh37eNtJ— MICHAEL OLUNGA (@OgadaOlunga) March 2, 2022 Olunga opened the scoring after just 12 minutes, being on the end of Edmilson Junior’s pass to give Duhail the early lead with Sultan Al Brake doubling the advantage in the first minute of stoppage time in the first half to see Duhail head into the break with a two-goal advantage.Edmilson Junior scored the third three minutes after the restart from the halftime break with Abdulrahman Fahmi Moustafa scoring the fourth three minutes later.Abdulrahman Fahmi Moustafa struck again in the 77th minute for his second in the match and fifth for Duhail as Yaseen Al-Bakhit scored the consolation for Umm-Salal six minutes later.12’ ⚽️ هدف !! @OgadaOlunga #الدحيل 1 × 0 أم صلالالاسبوع 21 | #دوري_نجوم_QNB pic.twitter.com/2eWVOobP0S— نادي الدحيل ALDUHAIL (@DuhailSC) March 2, 2022 Substitute Rashid Al Abdulla filled Olunga’s boots perfectly for the match, scoring the sixth for Duhail in the 86th minute, just 10 minutes after coming on for the Kenyan international.With Al-Sadd already having won the league, there is not much for Duhail heading into the last match of the campaign but Olunga will fancy scoring more to etch a name for himself.
