Sierra Leone: Kei Kamara Gives Dynamo a Double

Freetown — Leone Stars United States-based striker, Kei Kamara Wednesday scored twice to give his new club, Houston Dynamo (The Orange boys) a 4-0 win over Chivas USA in the Major League Soccer (MLS).

Since Kamara joined the MLS champions last month from rival team San Jose Earthquakes, this is his first start-up match for the Orange boys as he has always been fielded as a substitute.

The now-in-form striker, got his first goal of the match in the 22nd minute from teammate, Richard Mulrooney's cross. He turned with a defender behind him and as he was about to fall, he gathered enough strength for a shot which beat Chivas goalkeeper Thornton.

Kamara got his second goal in the 35th minute through a dynamite near-post header. Though this is the tall striker's first multi-goal in an MLS game, he could have gotten an hat trick after beating Chivas goalkeeper who was way off his line to chase the ball but Kamara's shot hit the left post.

Goals from Stuart Holden and Nate Jaqua rounded the score line to 4-0. Dynamo remain unbeaten in their last seven games and this victory cemented their place at the top of the West Conference.

Speaking to Concord Sports, Kamara said he was delighted to get his name on the score sheet once again adding that he hopes to continue his goal scoring form.

"I am glad to get my goal scoring form back. I am looking forward to get more goals and go ahead and lift the title," he said.

    As a Dynamo fan - I was thrilled to see Kei join the "Men in Orange". He has great speed and able to beat other players one-on-one.
