Yassine Bounou, known as Bono, was the great figure in the definition of penalties between the teams of Morocco and Spain, for the round of 16 of the Qatar 2022 World Cup. The outcome was won by the African team and all eyes turned to the goalkeeper who saved two penalties.
Bono denied the goal to Carlos Soler in the second attempt of the ‘Red’. Precisely, before the launch of the Spaniard, the cameras captured the precise moment in which the goalkeeper who plays for Seville gives a message to his rival. “Give it, I’ll take it out, give it”is the message it emits, according to TNT Sports.
This fact, without a doubt, reminds us of the Argentine Emiliano ‘Dibu’ Martínez, who in the semifinal penalty shootout of the Copa América 2021 against Colombia, provoked the players before being shot with the controversial “Look how I eat you, brother”.
Bono, the hero of Morocco
Bono saved two penalties in the decisive shootout against Spain (3-0 for the Moroccans after a 0-0 draw), those taken by Carlos Soler and Sergio Busquets. Pablo Sarabia sent the goal post defended by the 31-year-old athlete.
“When you are in the moment you don’t realize what you just accomplished. We are very happy. Now we have to think about what lies ahead.”explained Bono at a press conference in Doha, after being chosen the best man of the match.
“We are happy that things have happened this way. In time, we will realize what we have achieved.”he pointed.
