Harambee Stars captain Michael Olunga is on the brink of history as the Qatari All-Stars League comes to a close on Monday evening.Olunga’s side, Al Duhail, could clinch the title if they beat Al-Shamal at the Abdullah bin Khalifa Stadium in Doha in a match that will kick off at 7 p.m. EAT.##NAJAVA_MECA_7234442##Duhail lead the table with 48 points, two more than second-placed Al Arabi, and they just need to win against Shamal to be declared champions. A draw could be sufficient as they have a slightly better goal difference, but it may be a risky route to take as the +2 advantage over Al Arabi can be achieved when they host defending champions Al Sadd.Olunga will also be seeking to win the golden boot by moving clear of Al Arabi’s Syrian striker, Omar Al-Somah. The duo is currently tied at 18 goals, and the final day presents an opportunity for either to move clear in the charts.Ahead of the match, Al Duhail coach Herman Crespo says they have to get the job done. He says the race is in their hands and that they must make it count by lifting the title by the end of the day.”I am very happy to be with Al Duhail, and I must thank everyone. The match versus Al Shamal is our last chance to win the league title, and until now, after 21 league games, we are still at the top of the league table, and we must complete our work by obtaining the league title, and the opportunity is there in our hands, therefore we must trust ourselves,” he told the club’s official website.Congrats @FaithKipyegon_ on your victory yesternight🇰🇪 pic.twitter.com/hxMmJG19lq— MICHAEL OLUNGA (@OgadaOlunga) May 6, 2023 The former Argentina international added that he was honored to handle Duhail and that if he were to exit, he would carry special memories.”I was honored to be part of the Al Duhail project, as this season was amazing for me, in which I got to know the Qatari traditions and I witnessed football here in Qatar closely. There are a distinguished group of players with me. If I leave the team, I will carry many memories, as it is an unforgettable experience, and I must thank the players for the effort they made throughout the season,” he added.The title race is on – Matano sends message after Tusker’s vital win over Homeboyz
