  • Kenyan international Michael Olunga scored the first hat-trick of this year's Asian Champions League to spark Qatar giants Al Duhail to a thrilling 4-3 victory over Iran's Esteghlal on Wednesday. Olunga, who left Japan's Kashiwa Reysol to join Al Duhail earlier this year, struck twice in the first half before completing his hat-trick in the 85th minute to put the Qataris on top of Group C with seven points from three matches. Al Duhail, who were dethroned as champions by Xavi's Al Sadd in the Qatar Stars League in March, have not been a real force at the continental level, having never progressed beyond the quarter-finals. But Wednesday's performance must have lifted their hopes with Olunga scoring his second hat-trick this year, having starred in Al Duhail's 6-0 win against Al Ahli in Qatar's Amir Cup. Esteghlal took the lead at the King Abdulla Sports City in Jeddah with Amir Motahari powering in a header off a Seyed Mousavi cross in the fourth minute. The 6ft 4in Olunga then took charge of the game, netting the equaliser in the 10th minute after Esteghlal goalkeeper Mohamed Mazaheri had parried a powerful shot from Edmilson onto his path. Olunga was in the thick of the action in the 27th minute taking advantage of a wayward pass from Masoud Rigi inside the box and firing home. Al Duhail's lead didn't last long as Chieck Diabate scored with an easy tap-in in the 34th minute after Motahari had crossed to him following a great pass by Farshid Esmaeili. However, just on the stroke of half-time Al Duhail were a goal up again with Abdullah al-Ahrak finding the net off a cross from Mohamed Musa. There was more drama to come as the Iranians drew level once again with captain Esmaeili scoring in the 74th minute with a diving header following a corner. The match appeared heading for a draw when Olunga completed his hat-trick by controlling a cross from Ismael Mohamed and firing home. str/dj
