Olunga: Kenya star misses out on record after Kashiwa Reysol stalemate

Kenya international Michael Olunga failed to write history in the J1-League after Kashiwa Reysol battled to a 0-0 draw against Oita Trinita on Sunday.

The former Gor Mahia striker went into the contest with a record of scoring in seven consecutive matches and was seeking to reach the mark of scoring in eight straight matches set by Julio Salinas, who was turning out for Yokohama Marinos in the 1997-1998 season.

Olunga had notched in seven straight matches, which he started off with a hat-trick when Reysol beat Vegalta Sendai 5-1 and was also on target last weekend as they beat Vissel Kobe 3-2.
