Milson, who joined on loan from Serbian champions Red Star Belgrade at the beginning of the month, is making an impact for a club that is eager to compete for a place in continental competition next season.

After a promising debut that was followed by an assist in his second match, the Palanca Negra created more chaos and benefited from some good fortune when his deflected effort went in off the crossbar in the 35th minute. His goal added to a devastating first half where the hosts went up 3-0 in the opening half hour before the Angolan struck.

From that point, the rout was on and big money signing Banza completed the scoring early in the second half. The Congolese striker, who arrived for a fee over €8 million before struggling with injuries and underwhelming form, added his fourth goal of the season with a header in the 50th minute.

Al Jazira have now won their last three league matches, pushing the club into fourth place on the league table for the time being. With nine goals during this stretch, the attack is performing at a new level with their new Angolan arrival as well as an extended spell of good health for Banza.
