The Ghanaian forward headed into the net after a brilliant cross from Roman Dixon from the right flank to break the deadlock in the game.
Boakye had come off the bench at the start of the second half. He made no mistake in heading home from six yards out in front of the South Stand to seal the win for the Toffees.
The victory ensured Evertonians left home happy when the match came to an end in 65 minutes as part of a pre-planned controlled evacuation required for the new stadium’s safety and licensing approvals.
The game is part of the club's plans of testing out its new 25,000 seater stadium as they prepare to leave Goodison Park.
