Ras Al Khaimah: AFC Asian Cup 2015 Top Scorer Ali Mabkhout was on target again as Al Jazira geared up for their 2015 AFC Champions League Play-off against Bunyodkor with a 2-0 victory over Emirates in their final domestic fixture ahead of their trip to Tashkent.
Mabkhout, who netted five times in the UAE’s impressive third-place finish at Australia 2015, opened the scoring 18 minutes into Thursday’s UAE league Round 16 clash before seeing his angled shot deflected into the net by Emirates defender Mubarak Saeed as Al Jazira opened up a three-point lead over inaugural ACL champions Al Ain at the top of the table.
Next up for Al Jazira AFC Champions League 2015 Play-off against two-time semi-finalists Bunyodkor, with a place in Group A alongside Saudi Arabia’s Al Nassr, Lekhwiya of Qatar, and Tehran giants Persepolis going to the winner of Tuesday’s encounter in Tashkent.
