Kenyan striker Michael Olunga is the talk of the day after he shared a video showing how his Japanese fans were happy with him after he grabbed a brace for Kashiwa Reysol on Saturday, September 28.
The former Gor Mahia forward scored twice between 29th and 37th minutes to hand Kashiwa Reysol a 3-0 victory against visiting team Tokyo Verdy at Kashiwa Hitachi Stadium. His team-mate Cristiano da Silva scored the third goal in the 79th minute.
After the match, Olunga would then rally a pulsating crowd chanting a corrupted version of the famous ‘Kenya Hakuna Matata’ song.
And the internet broke when he uploaded the video;
If u’re enjoying ur time there, stay! Don’t be in a hurry to go elsewhere, i see people urging you to move to the premier league…the grass isn’t always greener on the other side.
You seem to be getting much love and respect. Repay with even better performance and commitment.
