Inaki Williams has been handed his first start for the Black Stars in their international friendly game vs Nicaragua on Tuesday.

The Spanish born striker was a second half substitute for the Stars in their 3:0 loss to Brazil.

The Athletic Bilbao attacker made a bright start to his international career with some good runs and shots they were blocked in the second half.

He gave the Brazilian defence some tense moments. The Brazilian coach Tite confessed in a post-match interview he had expected Inaki to start the game.
