- Morocco goalkeeper Bono saved France captain Kylian Mbappe’s first-half penalty in their World Cup quarter-final clash on Thursday.
- Mbappe had won the penalty after being fouled by Manchester United’s Noussair Mazraoui but was made to wait around three minutes to take the spot-kick.
- When he eventually stepped up, his effort was tame and was easily stopped by Bono as he dived to his left and held onto the ball.
- Bono has now conceded just two of the nine penalties he has faced in World Cups, including penalty shootouts, with four saves and three penalties missing the target.
- He starred in Morocco’s last-16 penalty shootout win over Spain at the 2022 World Cup, and was key to Morocco’s shootout win against the Netherlands in the round of 32 at this year’s tournament.
