In the 56th minute, John Boye, captain in place of the injured Asamoah Gyan, doubled the lead, and two minutes later Aston Villa's Jordan Ayew made it 3:0.

Earlier on Thursday, Madagascar held Central African Republic to a 1:1 draw.
Hosts Madagascar took the lead on 80 minutes through a penalty by Carolus Andriamahitsinoro but they were pegged back with only four minutes to go when Limane Moussa scored the equaliser for CAR.
The result means Madagascar remain bottom of Group B on two points, while CAR move to four points to draw level with leaders Angola.
