Odion Ighalo has taken responsibility for Super Eagles 2-1 loss to Argentina in the last Group D match in Saint Petersburg onTuesday, even as his wife has lambasted those attacking him.
Ighalo, who missed a couple of chances in the all-important match told TheCable he apologised to the entire nation and teammates after the game. He also rued the clear chances he had which he failed to utilise.
“I apologise to Nigeria. I apologise to my team mates,” Ighalo said. “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 game,” he said.
“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.”
