Michael Olunga was on target, yet again, with a brace on Saturday for Al Duhail as they mastered a 4-0 win over Al Rayyan in the Qatar Stars League.
The win cements Al Duhail’s second place on the standings, seven points behind high flying Al-Sadd, who have two matches in hand.
Olunga’s two goals took his tally this season to 19 goals, a whopping seven more than Ghanaian international Andre Ayew, who turns out for Al-Sadd. Algerian Baghdad Bounedjah comes in third position with 11 goals.
