Paintsil was substituted in the 80th minute after being named man of the match.
The 24-year-old has five goals and four assists in 10 games this season. He recently returned from a hamstring injury that kept him out for three games.
Paintsil, who was not called up for the Black Stars’ friendlies last month, is hoping to be included in the World Cup squad.
Otto Addo is expected to submit a provisional squad to FIFA on Friday.
