Isa Town: Al Jazeera’s dream AFC Cup run continued as they booked their place in the Zonal Semi-Finals with a 2-1 victory over Malkiya on Matchday Six on Tuesday.
The Jordanians took the lead halfway through the opening period after defender Gege Soriola fouled Musa Al Taamari inside the penalty box.
The Jordanian forward took the resulting spot-kick himself and emphatically scored his fourth goal of the campaign to break the deadlock.
The home crowd erupted as Malkiya drew level after a well-worked attacking move. Sayed Ali cut in from the right flank and supplied a short pass to Sayed Issa at the edge of the box.
The latter controlled and found Welid Al Teyeb in space inside the box, and Al Teyeb fired with his left beyond the Jordanian goalkeeper to equalise for the hosts seven minutes before the break.
