Inaki Williams, a Ghanaian international, has expressed his joy at scoring after a goalless streak of more than five months.
When his Athletic Bilbao team played Osasuna on Tuesday night in the Spanish Copa del Rey, the Black Stars forward striker finally scored.
Prior to the match against Osasuna, Williams had not scored in 23 games for club or country, with his most recent goal coming against Villarreal in October 2022.
However, the Ghanaian striker seized an opportunity during the game against Osasuna. Taking advantage of a loose ball after a corner kick, Williams managed to score and give Bilbao a crucial lead in the first leg of the semi-final clash, which was played at home.
The first leg had ended in a 1-0 defeat for Bilbao, making Williams’ goal all the more crucial.
Despite Williams’ efforts, fate was not on Bilbao’s side as Osasuna managed to score in extra-time, emerging victorious and securing their spot in this season’s Copa del Rey final.
After the game, the former Spain international has taken to social media to express his excitement after ending his goal drought.
“Never forget that we are living what one day we dream of. THANK YOU ALL FOR WHAT YOU MADE US LIVE 🙏🏿♥️” he tweeted.
