DOHA: Baghdad Bounedjah struck twice against his old club as Al Shamal stunned holders Al Sadd 2-1 to start their Ooredoo Stars League (QSL) campaign on a high note.

Also yesterday, Kenyan striker Michael Olunga netted a hat-trick to propel Al Duhail to a 6-1 thrashing over Qatar SC.

Bounedjah, who left Al Sadd ahead of the new season, scored in 31st and 74th minutes as Al Shamal walked away with three points in their opening match at Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium.

An own-goal by Jeison Murillo helped Al Sadd reduced the lead in the 89th minute.
