After the game, Williams decided not to exchange the jersey with any Swiss player as he preserved the jersey for his mother.

"I am very grateful for everything my parents have done. It is vital, they give you strength and it is what pushes you to be better. This shirt is for my mother. They are very happy that she was able to debut with the Absolute, it is the everyone's dream," he said as quoted by es.besoccer.com.

"I am very happy to be here, to contribute to the cause, very happy to learn from the best and I hope I can have more opportunities," he added.

Nico Williams followed up his debut with an assist as Spain defeated Portugal in the Nations League on Tuesday night.

The Athletic Bilbao forward seems to have impressed manager Luis Enrique after two games and could make the squad for the World Cup.

He could join his brother Inaki Williams as siblings to have represented two different countries at the World Cup and in Ghana's case they will follow the path of the Boateng brothers.
