Yassin Bounu became the main hero of the Moroccan national team in the match of the 1/8 finals of the 2022 World Cup.

On Tuesday, December 6, the match of the 1/8 finals of the 2022 World Cup took place, in which the Moroccan national team sensationally beat Spain.

The match between the teams ended in a draw in regular time, and no goals were scored in extra time either. The Moroccans won the penalty shootout with a score of 3:0.

The goalkeeper of the national team of Morocco, Yassin Bounou, did not miss a single goal in the series of post-match penalties and became the second goalkeeper in the history of the World Cup to achieve such an achievement.

To date, the legendary Ukrainian goalkeeper Oleksandr Shovkovskyi was the only goalkeeper who did not concede a single goal in one penalty shootout at the World Cup.

We will remind you that at the 2006 World Cup in Germany, thanks to the stunning performance of the ex-Dynamo goalkeeper, the Ukrainian national team beat Switzerland in a penalty shootout and reached the quarterfinals of the World Cup.

Let’s add that in the 1/4 finals of the 2022 World Cup, the Moroccan national team will play against the winner of the match between Portugal and Switzerland. The game between the Swiss and the Portuguese players will take place on December 6. The starting whistle will sound at 21:00 Kyiv time.
