However, Musa has taken to Instagram to apologise on behalf of the team, saying they realised that they made a big mistake.
“On behalf of myself and my teammates, we are really sorry for the disappointment of the game tonight. We know we made a big mistake in the game but there’s nothing we can do, that’s football- sometimes you win, some times you lose.
“We are going to correct our mistake in the next game. We are going there to see that we qualify for the AFCON and we know that we can do it.
“On behalf of myself and my teammates, we are very very sorry.”
