Harambee Stars captain Michael Olunga etched himself in the Al Duhail history books with a goal on Friday evening that now sees him stand atop the club’s all time goal-scoring records.Having just joined the Qatari side three years ago, Olunga is now the club’s all time top goal scorer with 121 goals in all-competitions.Olunga’s record-breaking goal came in Al Duhail’s comfortable 6-2 away win over Al Shamal at Al- Khwar Stadium, a game where he also provided an assist late on.With Lucas Verissimo having given the visitors an early lead after 11 minutes, Olunga made it 2-0 shortly afterwards, as he lurched on to an onside pass from Luis Alberto to race clear and smash his left-footed effort past Senegalese keeper Babacar Seck.مهنـــدس وهـــّداف 👷🏾♂️⚽️ pic.twitter.com/YDy6Wz30hp— نادي الدحيل ALDUHAIL (@DuhailSC) November 1, 2024 The 30-year-old was definitely the man intended to score the third, but defender Mohammed Musa put up a foot to direct a cross from the right straight into his own net for 3-0.The hosts managed to get one back through Younes Belhanda, only for Almoez Ali to score his first goal from the penalty spot in first half added time.Kenyan ambassador honoured by Michael Olunga’s club in QatarAlberto soon made it five minutes after the break with a long-range effort that canoned off the foot of the post before going in.Algeria’s Baghdad Bounedjah then scored a consolation for Al Shamal that was compounded further when Olunga, striding in space on a quick counter-attack, found Ali in the box to slot past Seck.##NAJAVA_MECA_8466988##The win means Al Duhail are now four points ahead of second-placed Al Sadd after nine games.Olunga’s strike – his third in a row – meanwhile means he is on eight goals in seven Qatar Stars League matches this season.
