Kenyan international Michael Olunga netted his first league goal for Al Duhail as his compatriots had a wonderful weekend.
Kenyans plying their trade abroad had a perfect weekend with Japenese MVP Michael Olunga bagging his maiden league goal as Amos Nondi also featured for Dila Gori.
Michael Olunga
Kenyan international Michael Olunga opened his account in the Qatar Stars League at the third time of asking as he helped Al Duhail to a 2-0 win over Al Rayyan on Sunday.
Olunga assured all three points for Duhail in the 73rd minute when Abdullah Abdulsalam floated in an inch-perfect cross that was headed onto the path of Olunga who fired home with an acrobatic finish.
The Japanese MVP did justice to the goal with a backflip celebration as he added to Ismaeel Mohammed's 37th-minute strike.
The forward took to Twitter to celebrate his milestone, "Plus 3 points for Al Duhail, Hopefully first of many."
The win sees Duhail close in on league leaders Al Sadd as they bridged the gap to 13 points as they prepare to face Gharafa on Thursday 18 February.

Amos Nondi
Kenyan midfielder Amos Nondi started for Georgian side Dila Gori in the 2-0 win over Chertanovo as they kick off their pre-season with a win.
Gori also played a second friendly on Sunday and beat Belarusian giants BATE Barisov 2-0 though Nondi was rested to feature later in the game against Chertanovo.
Nondi has been a mainstay at Dila since making the switch from fellow Georgian side Kolkheti Poti back in 2018 where he played alongside former Gor Mahia teammate Eric Marcelo Ouma.
Phillip Mwene
Elsewhere in Germany, Mwene completed 90 minutes as his Mainz side picked up a valuable point in the 2-2 draw against Bayer Leverkusen in the German Budesliga.
