You must repent and make up for the missed day without expiation, as expiation is specific to breaking the fast through sexual intercourse. For delaying the make-up fast, the majority of scholars stipulate feeding a needy person one and a half kilograms of rice, unless the delay was due to ignorance of its prohibition, in which case nothing is required.
