Michael Olunga showcased his goal-scoring prowess once again on Wednesday, April 17, as he powered Al Duhail to a resounding 5-2 victory over Muaither SC in the Qatar Stars League, bringing his season tally to an impressive 14 goals.
In a thrilling encounter late on the 13th matchday of the Qatari championship, Olunga’s double strike proved decisive as Al Duhail emerged victorious against Muaither SC.
The Kenyan striker wasted no time in making his mark, opening the scoring just 8 minutes into the game.
Despite Muaither SC managing to level the score through Hugo Gomes in the 23rd minute, Al Duhail quickly regained the lead with a goal from Almoez Ali, asserting their dominance in the contest.
The momentum swung back and forth, with Aymane El Hassouni of Muaither SC netting the equalizer just before halftime, showcasing his own attacking prowess with his fifth goal of the Qatar Stars League season.
However, it was Olunga who stole the show after the break, demonstrating his versatility by providing an assist for Coutinho’s goal before adding two more goals to his tally in the 80th minute.
With these strikes, Olunga’s total for the season now stands at an impressive 14 goals, accompanied by two assists.
Al Duhail sealed their victory in style as Al-Abdulla added a fifth goal in the dying moments of the game, securing a comprehensive triumph for the visiting side.
With this important win, Al Duhail ascends to 5th place in the league standings, while Muaither SC, despite El Hassouni’s efforts, remains in 11th place, precariously positioned in the relegation zone.
Olunga’s stellar performance not only reaffirms his status as a prolific goal scorer but also underscores his invaluable contribution to Al Duhail’s aspirations in the Qatar Stars League.
As the season progresses, all eyes will be on Olunga as he continues to make waves in Qatari football.
