How I reacted after Gyan missed penalty against Uruguay – Inaki Williams opens up
New Black Stars forward, Inaki Williams, has revealed his reactions after Asamoah Gyan’s penalty miss against Uruguay.
Ghana had a brilliant opportunity to play in the semifinal of the Mundial for the first in history after Luis Suarez used his hands to block Dominic Adiyah’s goal-bound header.
The Black Stars were awarded a spot kick but Asamoah Gyan failed to convert the spot kick in the dying minutes of the game.
However, after 120 minutes of action, Ghana suffered an elimination after losing 4-2 in penalty shootouts after 1-1 in regulation time.

“When Asamoah Gyan missed the penalty against Uruguay I was very sad because I lived that World Cup a lot, very involved with Ghana,” he said.

On the 2022 World Cup to be staged in Qatar, the forward adds that the Black Stars may not be favourites but have a competitive squad to compete.
“We have a very young team, but with a lot of quality. Most of them play in Europe,” he said.
“We can do great things in the World Cup. It’s not an easy group, but there is a very powerful team. We can surprise anyone. We’re not going as favourites and that’s good for us,” he added.
Ghana has been housed in Group H alongside Portugal, South Korea, and Uruguay for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
