Nigeria striker Desire Oparanozie has apologised to the country's supporters after missing her penalty in the Woman's World Cup last 16 defeat to England.
The two sides drew 0-0 at Suncorp Stadium on Monday before the Three Lionesses progressed with a 4-2 shootout win, with both Oparanozie and Michelle Alozie unable to convert from the spot.
Oparanozie posted her apology on Instagram alongside a picture of herself being consoled by goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie.
She wrote: "Sad day! Very disappointing to have lost through penalties, and even more disappointing not to have converted mine.
"And for this, I deeply apologize."
