Despite Al Duhail digging deep to mount a 3-2 comeback against Pakhtakor Tashkent FK, Kenyan international Michael Olunga saw his seven-game AFC Champions League scoring streak come to an end.The former Gor Mahia forward lasted the entire 90 minutes against the Uzbek side but had no luck in finding the back of the net, halting his seven-game scoring run in Asia’s premier club competition.Hard fought victory +3p Congrats @EdmilsonJr221 on your hat trick. Well done bro👏🏾👏🏾 pic.twitter.com/p75IxvygBV— MICHAEL OLUNGA (@OgadaOlunga) April 14, 2022 In the seven games, Olunga had amassed 10 goals and walked away with the Champions League Golden Boot last season despite his side suffering a Group Stage exit having plundered nine goals.With the game seemingly headed to the break in a barren draw, up stepped Oliver Sarkic who handed Pakhtakor the lead with a minute to the interval.Edmilson Junior restored parity for Al Duhail six minutes after the hour mark but Sardor Sobirkhodjaev put Pakhtakor on the driving seat again three minutes later.🔴 نهاية المباراة#الدحيل 3 × 2 باختاكور الأوزبكي⚫️ 44’ ساركيتش⚽️ 66’ ادميلسون⚫️ 69’ خوجاييف⚽️ 71’ ادميلسون⚽️ 84’ ادميلسونالجولة الثالثة | #ACL2022 pic.twitter.com/cVt4mjTerD— نادي الدحيل ALDUHAIL (@DuhailSC) April 14, 2022 Duhail again showed their mettle as they drew level in the 71st minute through that man again Junior who found the back of the net after Sultan Al-Brake put the ball on a plate for him.The Brazilian midfielder sealed his hat-trick with six minutes left on the clock to ensure Duhail collect three vital points and stay on course for progression to the knockout phases of the competition.
