In Ghana's final game, Richard Ofori needlessly touched the ball heading out of play, earning Mozambique a corner in the 93rd minute. The corner kick led to a goal, which saw Ghana eliminated from the tournament.

Immediately, the Black Stars were eliminated from the game; Inaki flew a private jet on standby to his club to feature in the Copa Del Rey quarterfinal against FC Barcelona.

Inaki Williams scored one of the four goals that Athletico Bilbao needed to advance to the next stage and win the trophy.

Ghanaians believe that if Richard Ofori hadn't made a mistake at the Afcon, Inaki's club wouldn't have called for him to be given a medal, too.
