Ghana’s Black Stars captain and Arsenal midfielder’s, Thomas Partey scored an important goal to give Ghana the lead against the Super Eagles of Nigeria.
Despite the unending noise from the crowd at the Moshood Abiola Stadium in Abuja-Nigeria to unsettle the Ghanaian players in the early stages of the game, it was the Black Stars who grabbed a crucial opener.
After some good hold-up play from Jordan Ayew, Gideon Mensah’s pass found Thomas on the edge of the Nigerian box.
The Arsenal midfielder’s powerful effort went straight through Super Eagles goalie Uzoho and into the back of the net sparking wild celebrations from the away side.
