New surprise at the World Cup in Qatar. Morocco, which did not go beyond a draw against Croatia in its World Cup debut, has beaten Belgium, a priori one of the teams called to go far in this World Cup, and the future of all the components of group F will be decided in the last working day.
Sabiri and Aboukhlal have been the Moroccan scorers against a Belgium that has not been comfortable at any time. However, the match played in the Al Thumama State has already been highly commented on the networks just before it started. And with Bono, goalkeeper of Seville and Morocco, as the protagonist.
With the announcement of the starting eleven for Belgium and Morocco, there have been no big surprises. And in the case of Bono, the Moroccan goalkeeper was going to start the game. This has also been observed in the warm-up. And he has also jumped onto the pitch with the other footballers who have played at the start and have sung the anthems. But, finally, Munir has played under sticks. Bono was gone.
The networks have not taken long to realize what happened and many have begun to ask what had happened to the Moroccan starting goalkeeper, who was not finally playing the match.
As the minutes passed, some images have been published in which it could be seen how, already during the hymns, the Moroccan goalkeeper seemed somewhat indisposed, touching his knees and looking down. And already at the end of the match, the mystery of Bono’s disappearance has been solved.
After beating Belgium 0-2, the Morocco coach, Walid Regragui, has appeared before the media and has revealed that he had to change Bono after he formed with the team while the anthem of his country sounded because he felt “bad” after the warm-up, after having spent the last three days trying to recover from a bruised hip he suffered against Croatia.
“In the game against Croatia, he was injured in the last minutes and it took him three days to recover. He began to warm up and after a few minutes he began to feel bad and he asked me if he could replace him, ”he explained at a press conference.
“I appreciated Munir’s attitude, because he did a great job,” the Moroccan coach concluded about the goalkeeper who replaced the Sevilla goalkeeper.
