Ghana striker Asamoah Gyan has said sorry for his penalty miss one week after the Nations Cup semi-final defeat against Zambia but insist every player can miss one.
Gyan missed a spot-kick in the opening 10 minutes before Ghana went on to lose by a lone goal.

The UAE based player has been heavily criticised since then but now hopes his apology will put the issue to rest.
Gyan also missed a crucial spot kick against Uruguay that would have taken Ghana through to the semi-finals of the 2010 World Cup and says he feels gutted by his penalty record at the crucial moments for Ghana.
"I'd like to apologise to the fans," he told skysports.com.
"It's been very difficult for me. I'd never miss a penalty on purpose.
"It's now two of the biggest penalties in my country's history and it's difficult to take!
"I've been unlucky. We all miss them. Fans should know it's not easy. [Didier] Drogba missed in the final.
"[Samuel] Eto'o has missed before. It's happened to the greatest before, I'm sorry."
