Warriors goalkeeper Elvis Chipezeze actually made his much publicised apology for his pathetic showing at the African Cup of Nations in Egypt only after being bombarded by fans for an initial outburst that somewhat showed no remorse for his heartbreaking act.

Making the apology on his Twitter page, Chipezeze had deleted and retracted on his earlier post about his performance in the 4-0 loss to DRC before a lot of people had seen the post.

The 29-year-old posted on Twitter hitting back at people who are criticising him for the school boy blunders he made which resulted in all the four goals against the DRC.

In the tweet, Chipezeze said: “Even if people criticise or judge me, I have learnt from these incidents. We are humans and we make mistakes, but learning from them is what makes a difference… Gutted with the performance.”

The post showed no remorse in some ways and it left several fans agitated.

After receiving the backlash, Chipezeze deleted the tweet and made a new one, apologising for his mistakes in the game.

The Warriors performance at the most critical moment when they needed just a one goal win left many people believing that the boys may have thrown the match for financial gains.

The team according to critics, exposed itself to match fixing moguls when they continuously fought with the Zimbabwe Football Association authorities over allowances in between every match they played.

Their final match against the DRC was a far cry from the brave performance they put up against the much tougher host Egypt side which is favoured to clinch the title.
