Oxborough made a smart early save to deny Isaac Buckley while Lukas Nmecha had the ball in the Norwich net on 12 minutes, only for referee Darren England to rule the goal out for handball.
City did not have to wait long to go ahead, however, as Abdelkader slotted home from just inside the area after a quarter of an hour.
Buckley continued to threaten and fired across the face of goal before the break, while Garcia forced a low save from Oxborough after it.
But the goalkeeper could not prevent Garcia from doubling the lead after 73 minutes, when he fired in a powerful shot from the edge of the area to wrap things up.
