Olunga could not do much to help Al Duhail avoid defeat, while Johstone Omurwa had a cameo appearance to forget for Portuguese outfit Estrela Amaradora.
Harambee Stars captain Michael Olunga unusually came off the bench but could not help make a difference as Al Duhail lost 3-2 to Al Gharafa in a Qatari Stars league clash played on Sunday.
Olunga was subbed on in the 82nd minute, but did not have enough time to change the outcome of the match, as he only touched the ball five times, but he did manage to get a shot on target in the few minutes he was on the pitch.
Al Duhail opened the scoring through Mohammed Muntari in the 41st minute, and took the lead into the break.
