Ghana international Inaki Williams
Ghana international Inaki Williams showcased his goalscoring prowess by netting a consolation goal for Athletic Bilbao in their preseason friendly defeat to PSV Eindhoven.
The Black Stars attacker was handed a starting role as his outfit succumbed to a 2-1 defeat to the Dutch giants in the highly competitive preparatory clash on Saturday, held at the Philips Stadion.
Williams played a pivotal role in the match by opening the scoring in the 16th-minute mark. However, the Dutch outfit staged a strong comeback, scoring in either half of the match to snatch victory at the end of the match.
France international Alassane Plea scored to level the score in the 26th-minute for PSV as the first half ended in a scoring draw.
Putting on a stellar performance, Netherlands international Joey Veerman found the back of the net in the 55th-minute to secure victory for the Dutch outfit.
Williams has been named as Bilbao’s skipper ahead of the 2025/26 football campaign, replacing Spanish international Oscar De Marcos following retirement from football.
He is expected to play a huge role for Athletic Bilbao next season as the club battles it out in three major competitions following their qualification back to Europe after long-term absence.
Athletic Club will open their La Liga season with a home game against Sevilla as Nico and Inaki aim to impress.
