Al Jazira continued their perfect start to the ADIB Cup with a 2-0 victory over Khorfakkan in gameweek two.
After a goalless first half, Al Jazira found the breakthrough in the 53rd minute through Talisca.
The ball dropped kindly to him inside the penalty area and he reacted brilliantly, striking a first-time volley into the top corner to give Al Jazira the lead.
Khorfakkan attempted to respond, but Al Jazira remained composed and doubled their advantage in the 71st minute.
Malcom Oliveira drove towards the edge of the penalty area before squaring the ball into the path of Vinicius Mello, who kept his composure and slotted a low finish into the back of the net.
The second goal effectively put the contest beyond Khorfakkan, with Al Jazira controlling the closing stages to secure another clean sheet and all three points.
The victory marked Al Jazira's second successive win after their 1-0 triumph over Al Wahda in gameweek one, while Khorfakkan remain in search of their first victory of the competition.
Al Jazira will look to maintain their winning run when they face Sharjah on Friday, October 9, while Khorfakkan face a difficult test against Al Wasl on Thursday, October 8.
