Nigeria’s goalkeeper, Stanley Nwabali, expressed his disappointment over the Super Eagles’ 2-1 defeat against Cote d’Ivoire in the final of the 2024 Africa Cup of Nations, describing it as a frustrating end to the tournament.

In a post on Instagram, Nwabali apologized to Nigerians for the loss, acknowledging the disappointment felt by fans. The defeat came after Nigeria initially took the lead in the 18th minute through a header from William Troost-Ekong.

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 giving you a disappointing night. We take full responsibility. Thanks for the whole support till the end. I love you all.”
