Yokohama F. Marinos extended their unbeaten run to nine games by hammering Yokohama FC 5-0 at home in Saturday’s J. League first-division Yokohama derby.
Marinos, whose only loss this year came on their first day of the season to reigning champion Kawasaki Frontale, had little trouble dispatching the visitors, who have yet to win this season, at Nissan Stadium.
Olunga has been in top form for the Kashiwa side from last season right into the current one. In the J2 League, where he finished as the Golden Boot runner up and Kashiwa Reysol’s top scorer, the former Thika United striker had 27 goals.
He carried the stellar form into the ongoing campaign, where Kawasaki Frontale have been already declared champions, as he has been leading the scorer’s chart for a considerable period now.
The 26-year-old striker was named in the October team of the month when he scored six goals – of which four of them came from two matches. The centre-forward was on target twice when Kashiwa Reysol defeated Yokohama FC 3-0 on October 3.
