Star striker Michael Olunga kept Al Duhail in control of Group "C" of 2021 Asian Champions League (West Region) after scoring twice in an entertaining 2-2 draw against Esteghlal in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Saturday night.

The Kenyan centre-forward equalised from the spot just before the first 45 minutes came to an end. Iranian side Esteghlal had taken the lead through a Cheick Diabate penalty in the 27th minute.
