Viduka on the double for Boro
Aiyegbeni Yakubu's seventh goal of the season and a second-half double from Mark Viduka sent Boro to the top of Group D and left them needing just a point from their two remaining games to ensure their progression for the second successive season.
The Teessiders eventually won at a canter, although they did not have things all their own way until Yakubu broke the deadlock nine minutes before half-time in front of a crowd of just 12,953.
