Nigeria's goalkeeper, Stanley Nwabali, expressed his disappointment and frustration following the Super Eagles' 2-1 defeat against Cote d'Ivoire in the final of the 2024 Africa Cup of Nations on Sunday. In a post on Instagram, he apologized to Nigerians for the loss.
Despite initially taking the lead in the 18th minute with a header from William Troost-Ekong, Nigeria conceded an equalizer in the 63rd minute and ultimately lost the match when Cote d'Ivoire scored the winning goal in the 87th minute. The defeat led to celebrations among the hosts and their fans at the Stade Olympique Alassane Ouattara in Abidjan.
Accompanied by a picture of himself looking disheartened on the pitch, Nwabali's caption read: "A disappointing and frustrating end. I deeply apologize to Nigerians. I was once a fan, still a fan, and I understand how it feels to give you a disappointing night. We take full responsibility. Thanks for the whole support till the end. I love you all."
