Egyptian journalist Ahmed Shubert has praised Morocco goalkeeper Byasine Bounou after he contributed to the Atlas Lions in the 2026 World Cup Round of 16.
Morocco qualified for the 2026 World Cup finalsafter defeating the Netherlands (3-2) on penalties (3-2) and drawing (1-1) after regular and extra time in the 32nd round of the tournament, early Tuesday morning at the Monterrey Stadium in Mexico.
In the match against Holland, Bono started with the traditional penalty shootout, but he noticed that the Dutch’s shots were starting to take high angles, so he changed his tactics during the series.
Bono deliberately kept moving on the goal line, angling his arms and changing his feet before Crencio Somerville pounced on the puck so he could deflect it with one hand in one of the most famous moments of the tournament.
The response method came into the limelight and many international newspapers, experts and analysts talked about it.
In turn, the former goalkeeper of “Al Ahli” Shubert said through his “X” account. “Bono studies his opponents well, and all goalkeepers do. The world has changed a lot. The player hits the man in the upper right corner. No matter how much he throws or flies, he will not catch it. trouble when he blocks this ball.”
“From what I saw from Morocco’s game against the Netherlands, no, I can say that Morocco will beat Canada and, God willing, will be in the quarter-finals of the World Cup.”
