A super pass from Alaa in the 48th minute lead to another marvelous goal from Olunga to further strengthen their lead.
The two goals took his tally for the club in the league to 15 from 11 matches he has been involved in.
Olunga's side are now placed in the second position on the table with 29 points from the 13 matches.
