Yassine Bounou, nicknamed Bono, is a Moroccan professional footballer who plays goalkeeper for La Liga club Sevilla and the Moroccan national team. The 31-year-old LaLiga goalkeeper is Morocco’s first-choice, but he was nowhere to be seen after the national anthem, with his replacement Munir Mohamedi instead making a rare start between the sticks.
Bounou was named to the starting lineup and warmed up on the field with his teammates before being mysteriously replaced. Reserve goalkeeper Mohamedi was given only a few minutes to prepare for Belgium, and his sudden appearance surprised BBC commentators who hadn’t noticed the change before the game began inside the Al Thumama stadium.
