Lamushi tips Olunga to shine at Al Duhail SC despite slow debut

Al Duhail SC coach Sabri Lamushi has backed Kenya striker Michael Olunga to fit into his style of play well after sealing his transfer to the club.

The 26-year-old striker was officially unveiled on Saturday night, three days after he had made his debut for the team in a 3-1 Qatar Stars League defeat against Al Sadd.

Olunga played for 67 minutes with Algeria star Baghdad Bounedjah scoring a hat-trick in the fixture as the Xavi-led team claimed maximum points.

Despite playing for the team almost a day after landing in Qatar, Olunga was impressive in the league match and should have scored on his debut after he missed a glancing header in the 20th minute.
