Aziz scored the opener when he managed to stay onside before connecting home a low grounder in the 22nd minute.
Left-back Pedro Amaral doubled the lead in the 33rd minute from an Aziz assist.
Two minutes from the halftime break, Amaral returned the favour by delivering a cross for Aziz to head home his second of the night.
