Near impossible to fix invisibly…
At matching wood grain is always challenging and in this case the repair will always be visible. As the previous poster suggested you’ll need to remake the top - a lot of work - or do are sunburst finish to cover the repair.
The tear out you have is as bad as I’ve seen and I’m guessing this was a combination of cutting in the wrong direction, taking too large a cut, or a not very sharp tool.
When cutting binding channels you need to ensure that the cut direction means the router blade is pushing the wood into itself to avoid this. I also find that using a Gamil or similar device to hand cut a clean line prior to routing can help.
