Partey, who captained the Black Stars against Zimbabwe following Andre Ayew’s relegation to the bench, scored from a free-kick in the first half.
This was the 28-year-old’s second goal against the southern African nation, having scored against them in the reverse fixture in Cape Coast last Saturday.
