Three minutes after the man of the moment Thomas Partey doubled Ghana&#8217;s lead with a close range effort.<\/p>\n<p>The Black Stars grew in confidence and were dominating play following the absence of the usual Black Stars trio; Gyan, the Ayew brothers and Attamah Larweah who was lashed out by the fans following Fridays encounter.<\/p>\n<p>In an attempt to reduce the deficit, Congo pushed more men forward and after several chances they drew one back for the two goals courtesy Lloyd Ayet who scored in the 44th minute.<\/p>\n<p>Thomas Partey added his second of the day right before the second half to end the first half proceedings at 3 \u2013 1 in favour of Ghana.<\/p>\n<p>History was documented in the 69th minute when the Athletico Madrid midfielder Thomas Partey scored his first career hat trick as a professional player. Partey has been in fine form this season scoring a goal for Athletico Madrid in the opening match of the 2017\/18 La liga season.<\/p>\n<p>The agonizing moment for the Congolese  came when the blistering Black Stars made it 5-1 as Boakye Yiadom scored his 2nd goal on the day. <\/p>\n<p>It was an impressive outing for the Black Stars but a horrifying day for the Congo spectators who were in awe after seeing the gargantuan score line at the Brazzaville stadium. <\/p>\n<p>Ghana are still third with 5 points and have increased their goal tally to six with two more games to play against Uganda in October and Egypt in November.<\/p>\n<p><b>Watch the highlights below<\/b><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pS0IAWNS8gM\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 4 updated by: 4 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sports News of Tuesday, 5 September 2017 Source: www.ghanaweb.com 2017-09-05 play videoBlack Stars &#13;
