An unlikely incident took place during the clash between Morocco and Belgium. The Moroccan goalkeeper Bono was seen lining up with the team ahead of their FIFA World Cup group stage match. Although, despite being named in the starting line-up for Morocco, the Sevilla goalkeeper did not play due to reasons further explained.
Bono sang the national anthem of his country but decided to vanish from the team queue right before kick-off. Here is when their backup keeper Munir was seen warming up. Munir also started the game against Belgium and kept a clean sheet. Just like the audience, the commentators were late to identify Munir and even referred to the backup goalkeeper as Bono once during the match.
Many fans across the internet were amazed by the fact that Bono was injured during the national anthem of his country. Although the reason why the Sevilla keeper could not make it to the pitch was that he was feeling ill.
According to various reports, Bono complained that he was feeling ill just before the kickoff time, which naturally annoyed the national team manager Walid Regragui. Thankfully, backup keeper Munir stepped up to play a very crucial game against attacking players like Kevin De Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku and managed to keep a clean sheet.
