Kochi, India - Australian-born striker Ryan Williams made a dream debut for India, scoring a goal in the fourth minute of their 2-1 win over Hong Kong in an Asian Cup qualifying round match.
Williams, who had been dreaming of this moment for a long time, said he felt a bit 'blurry' after scoring, as he had replayed the moment in his head so many times before the match.
He was ecstatic about the win, saying it was a special moment and his emotions took over. Williams was included in India's squad after FIFA cleared his change of association, and he was appreciative of the fans who turned out in good number to support the home side.
Williams was also grateful for the opportunity to play for India, saying it was something he and his family would remember for many years. He represented Australia at the youth level, featuring in the 2012 AFC U-19 Championship and the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup.
