Inaki Williams scores and misses penalty in Athletic Bilbao win

Inaki Williams scored a fine goal as Atheltic Bilbao maintained their unbeaten start to the season with a 4-0 victory over Cadiz in La Liga on Monday evening.

However, the Ghana international missed a penalty.

The 29-year-old was also replaced after 54 minutes due to an injury, his first since 2016.

Athletic Bilbao quickly took control of the game, with their early pressure paying off when Williams intercepted a loose back pass, rounded the Cádiz goalkeeper, and fired into an empty net.

The goal came in the 24th minute, and 11 minutes later, he had a great chance to get a brace from the penalty spot, but his tame effort was saved.

Despite Williams’ shocking miss, Bilbao dominated the game, and when Williams was substituted due to injury, Gorka Guruzeta, twice, and Alex Berenguer scored to complete a comprehensive victory.

Inaki’s younger brother Nico Williams, who played 82 minutes, assisted Berenguer’s goal.

Inaki, who was born in Spain, declared his intention to play for Ghana in June and is awaiting his first call-up, which is expected next month when the Black Stars face Nicaragua and Brazil in pre-World Cup friendlies.
