Despite having less than 48 hours between leaving Ghana’s camp in Ivory Coast and the game, Willaims notched a goal and provided an assist in the 4-2 triumph.
Williams only returned to Spain on Tuesday, via a private jet, after Ghana was eliminated from the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
The Athletic Bilbao forward started just one game in the Ivory Coast as the Black Stars failed to win a single match in a group that contained Egypt, Cape Verde, and Mozambique.
