AFC Champions League: Olunga with a brace as Al Duhail SC draw vs Esteghlal FC

Kenya striker Michael Olunga continued with his goal-scoring exploits as Al Duhail SC secured a 2-2 draw against Esteghlal FC on matchday four of the 2021 AFC Champions League on Saturday.

Just three days after scoring a hat-trick against the same side in Group C, the towering forward was at it again this time around, scoring from the penalty spot in added minutes of the first half before grabbing his second in the 58th-minute to take his tally of goals in the competition to six.

It was Esteghlal who scored first in the 27th minute through Malian forward Cheick Diabate from the penalty spot before Olunga levelled matters from the same position and then put his side ahead, but the Iranian side struck through Mehdi Ghayedi in the 61st minute for the draw.
