Ighalo missed a few chances to score goals that could have secured a win for the Nigerian team.
In a chat with TheCable, Ighalo says he takes full responsibility for the loss of the match and has already apologised to his teammates.
‘I apologise to Nigeria. I apologise to my team mates. I take responsibility for this game because I had taken those chances I had that would have made it a different ball game now. But that is football and life has to continue.
“It’s a sad day for me, the boys and the country because we went out in a bad manner and we deserved more in the gam. We had a penalty in the game and another one which the referee did not give. I missed a couple of chances that would have finished the game but that’s football because sometimes you win and sometimes to lose.”
