Watch Ghana Forward Inaki Williams Miss Incredible Chance After Tricking Portugal Goalkeeper

• Inaki Williams was seconds away from netting a crucial equaliser for Ghana
• The Athletic Bilbao striker unfortunately slipped and squandered the chance
• Portugal went on to win the five-goal Group H opener at the Stadium 974

Inaki Williams almost netted his debut goal for Ghana, after coming very close to scoring a sensational and cunning late equaliser against Portugal.

The Black Stars were one badly-timed slip away from grabbing an incredible stoppage-time equaliser, in their five-goal thriller with Cristiano Ronaldo's side.

With the four-time African champions trailing 3-2 in the dying moments of the game, Williams waited behind Portugal goalkeeper Diogo Costa as the goalkeeper held the ball in his arms inside the penalty area.

Costa, unaware that the Ghana striker was lurking behind him, rolled the ball out to take a kick and Williams pounced, sprinting up to regain possession.

At the crucial moment Williams turned to shoot though, he slipped and gave the Portuguese defence just enough time to clear the ball and hang on for the win.

The goal would’ve capped a sensational late comeback from the Africans, who looked down and out with 10 minutes to go.
