After the win, Athletic Bilbao praised their forward for scoring the winner

"@Williaaams45 scores the winning goal (1-0) for the @GhanaBlackstars  in the @FIFAWorldCup qualifier against Madagascar," the club posted on social media.

"The striker's first goal for Ghana."

Inaki before his first goal had gone 11 games without scoring a goal for the senior national team since switching national team to play for the Black Stars in June 2022.
