Yassine Bounou stole the show in the first half of the Morocco vs. Senegal match in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations final, held at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat.
In the fourth minute, Senegal almost scored the first goal after a perfectly executed corner kick bypassed all the Moroccan defenders, reaching Pape Gueye, who headed it towards goal, but Bounou made a brilliant save.
The Lions of Teranga continued to dominate and came very close to scoring, were it not for another intervention from Bounou.
In the 37th minute, Eliamin Ndiaye found himself one-on-one with Bounou and unleashed a clever shot, but the Al-Hilal goalkeeper made an exceptional save, spreading his legs wide and managing to keep the score level.
Bono was the primary reason Morocco reached the Africa Cup of Nations final after his outstanding performance in the penalty shootout against Nigeria in the semi-final. His history, whether with his country, Sevilla, or Al-Hilal, is replete with phenomenal saves and a consistent knack for rescuing teams in crucial moments.
We leave you with a moment that will forever be etched in our memories…
