Impressive Michael Olunga Scores 2 Goals as Kashiwa Reysol Beat Vissel Kobe 4-3

Harambee Stars striker Michael Olunga continued his scoring record as he bagged two goals in their 4-3 home win against Vissel Kobe.

His two goals now take him to 21 goals this season.

Olunga led Reysol to a magnificent first half performance that saw the team lead the visitors 3-0 before the break.

He began his scoring after 20 minutes with a diving header from a superb Critisno cross from the right wing.

In the 39^th minute, his team were two goals up before the Kenyan man scored his second goal in the 44^th minute after the goalkeeper could only parry a shot to his direction.

Reysol were leading 4-0 after 52 minutes but the visitors mounted a late comeback with Iniesta’s 87^th minute penalty taking the scores to 4-3.

The comeback began with Junya Tanaka scoring a brace in the 60tyh and 75^th minutes, first tapping home from close range off a Rhuyo Kikuchi cross from the right before finishing off a Gotoku Sakai pass.

Ex Barcelona star Andreas Iniesta then made it for a nervous finish when he slotted home a penalty in the 87^th minute, sending the keeper the wrong way.

Olunga’s team had to mount a serious defense after Shunki Takahashi was shown a second yellow card in the second half.

The leading goalscorer for the golden boot now has 10 goals between him and the second-best scorer, Kashima Antlers’ Everaldo.
