Black Stars duo Thomas Partey and Harrison Afful were on target in superb fashion on Tuesday night for their respective clubs.<\/p>\n
Atletico needed a 56th<\/sup> minute screamer from Partey to rescue a draw after a less than impressive performance against Azerbaijani champions Qarabag.<\/p>\n The Spanish side needed to win the game to put pressure on Chelsea and Roma at the top of group C but fell behind in the first half through a fine header from Qarabag\u2019s Spanish midfielder Michel.<\/p>\n Atletico who are still yet to register a victory in this season\u2019s competition were given an advantage when Qarabag were reduced to 10 men a minute after Partey\u2019s wonder strike, but they were still unable to break down the group minnows.<\/p>\n On the other side of the world, Ghana defender Harrison Afful was involved in an eye catching team performance when his Columbus Crew side brushed aside New York City FC 4-1 in Game 1 of the MLS Conference Semifinals.<\/p>\n Afful rounded off the scoring for his side in the 92nd<\/sup> minute with a jaw dropping solo effort when he went past three players before calmly slotting the ball past the keeper.<\/p>\n The victory put Columbus Crew, who also have fellow Black Stars defender Jonathan Mensah in their ranks, in pole position to qualify for the Conference finals.<\/p>\n Below are the goals from the duo:<\/p>\n Click here for Harrison Afful’s goal<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
