Harambe Stars captain Michael Olung has matched his last season’s tally, helping Al Duhail maintain their stay at the top of Qatar Star League.
Harambee Stars captain Michael Olunga has equaled his last season’s goal tally after netting his ninth goal of the campaign in Al Duhail’s 2-0 victory over Al-Wakrah on Friday at the Abdullah bin Khalifa Stadium.
Karim Boudiaf opened the scoring for Al Duhail in the second minute before Olunga sealed the win with a well-taken goal in the 56th minute.
The former Gor Mahia striker not only secured the three points for his side but also brought him level with his 2023/24 season total of nine goals, a tally that had placed him fifth in the top scorer’s charts last season.

Harambee Stars captain Michael Olunga has revealed his ultimate dream as Harambee Stars captain before he calls time on his career.
Currently, Olunga remains in fifth place behind last season’s golden boot winner, Baghdad Bounedjah of Al-Shamal, who has also matched his 14-goal tally.
Olunga’s contribution has been crucial in keeping Al Duhail at the summit of the league standings with 35 points from 15 matches, maintaining a four-point cushion over second-placed Al Sadd, the reigning champions.
Al Duhail are pushing for their first league title since the 2022/23 season when Al Sadd’s Akram Afif led the scoring charts.

Michael Olunga has opened up on the pressure that comes with being the captain of the national football team Harambee Stars ten years since his debut while still playing for Gor Mahia.
Olunga, who last won the golden boot in the 2021/22 campaign while guiding Al Duhail to the championship, will be hoping his latest goal sparks a prolific run as he eyes another golden boot and a league triumph.
The Kenyan striker last found the net in December 2024 during a 2-1 victory over Al Rabi, and he will be eager to build momentum as the season progresses.
With Al Duhail in pole position, Olunga’s goals could be the key to reclaiming the title.
