Super Eagles defender, Leon Balogun, has spoken on the mistake he made in their match against Madagascar.
He made a poor back pass that the Madagascar jackals devoured to the bones during the African Cup of Nations match.
It was the foundation of the Eagles’ woeful 2-0 loss to the underdogs.
Speaking on the matter, Balogun expressed regret but said the mistake was not enough for people to castigate him till eternity.
He said, “Bad days happen we had a bad day we tried it wasn’t enough but we still qualified and that’s what we should focus on and get ready for the next game,” he told brila.net.
“I made one mistake that led to a goal; played one miscued pass to the goalkeeper apart from that I think I defended everything I needed to defend and I know people will only focus on that mistake but that’s not what I’m going to do.

“I didn’t make that mistake on purpose it definitely doesn’t feel good. It was just a bad game for the whole team. It is football and these things happen and we’re all human beings; I’m not a robot.
“I can’t guarantee that mistakes won’t happen, so I will never say that. But of course if you had a mistake like that then you don’t want to do it again, but you can’t make any promises on that one.”
