Aftermath of Goal Blunder: I apologise for being human–Balogun

Leon Balogun has apologised for being human while taken responsibility for his mistake that led to Madagascar’s opening goal against Nigeria’s Super Eagles in their final AFCON group match at the Alexandria Stadium last Sunday.

He has promised to bounce back as the Eagles get set for their Round of 16 fixture on Saturday.

The Brighton & Hove Albion player took to Social Media to convey his apology which was captured in 52 words.

“You can love me or either leave me, but I’m only human & I make mistakes. Try not to hold that against me tho. I accept full responsibility for my actions, so if ya’ll expect me to be perfect, I apologize for being human. No mistake’s too great to recover and bounce back,” Balogun tweeted.
