Harambee Stars captain Michael Olunga won his first league title with Al Duhail since arriving in Qatar two years ago.

Olunga struck four times to hand Al-Duhail the 2022/23 Qatar Stars League title after a 5-2 thumping win over Al-Shamal.

Ali Almoez opened the scoring after seven minutes before Olunga took over to complete a first-half hat trick in the 21st, 31st and 35th minute.

Shamal pulled one back after the break via the penalty spot, but any faint hopes of a surprise comeback were dampened by Olunga's fourth goal.

The former Gor Mahia star also clinched this season's Golden Boot with a massive 22 goals. He was crowned last season's top scorer with 24 goals.
