The Super Eagles started well in the match leading with 4 goals at the 29th minutes but ended up having a draw at the end of the match.
Ahmed Musa however took to Twitter to apologize for letting down the country after raising hopes high.
He said in a video posted on the Super Eagles Twitter handle:
“Dear Nigerians on behalf of myself and my teammates we are really sorry for the disappointment for the game.
“We know we made a very big mistake in the game but there’s nothing we can do, that’s football, sometimes we win sometimes we lose. But we are going to correct our mistake in the next game Insha Allah.
“We are going there and do our best to see that we qualify for the AFCON and we know we can do it.
“On behalf of myself and my teammates we are very sorry for the game, we will make it up.”
