Harambee Stars striker Michael Olunga scored the only goal of the match as Kashiwa Resyol picked up maximum points in a J-League Division Two match against Tokushima on Sunday.
The former Gor Mahia forward scored in the 45th minute in the match played at Reysol’s Hitachi Kashiwa Stadium.
Olunga’s return to form will be good news for Kenyan coach Sebastien Migne, who is set to name his provisional squad for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations finals to be held in Egypt.
Olunga is among the strikers coach Migne will be looking at to help the team perform well in the continental showpiece, after they finished second behind Ghana to qualify from Group F.
