Amman: Jordan's Al Jazeera extended their unbeaten run in the 2018 AFC Cup to four games with an emphatic 4-0 win over Oman's Al Suwaiq in Group A on Tuesday.
The home side took the lead in the 39th minute as Yazan Al Arab received a long ball from a free-kick, before sending an accurately volleyed cross to Mohannad Al Souliman, who headed the ball past the goalkeeper.
Just two minutes later, Oday Al Jafal doubled Al Jazeera's lead as his first time shot from Abdullah Al Attar's low cross from the right flank left Al Suwaiq's goalkeeper Fayeez Al Rushaidi helpless.
Jordan's side showed their dominance as Ahmad Al Essawi finished Tannous' rebounded shot into the back of the net following a poor save by Al Rushaidi moments before the half time whistle.
In the dying moments of the match, Tannous scored Al Jazeera's fourth goal from close range into an empty net following a short pass from Shadi Al Hamwi.
Al Jazeera cemented their position at the top of Group A with 10 points ahead of their home fixture against Air Force Club. Meanwhile Oman's Al Suwaiq remain in last spot with no points and will host Malkiya on Matchday Five.
