Ghanaian midfielder Thomas Partey was a pivotal figure in the center of the field for Atletico Madrid in their narrow 1-0 win at home against German opposition Bayer Leverkusen on match day three of the UEFA Champions League.
The hardworking midfielder played the entire duration of the contest as his side fought hard to earn a very crucial win at home at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium in the competition.
Following a boring first half draw, Diego Simeone and his charges came out for the second half more determined and resilient as they chase victory in front of their home crowd.
Spainish forward Alvaro Morata scored the only goal of the match in the 78th minute to hand Atletico all three points as they record their second win in the competition
