Even though Morocco won the match against Belgium by scoring 2-0 on Sunday, football fans were in a state of shock with the mysterious disappearance of the Morocco goalkeeper Yassine Bounou before the kickoff.  After lining up with the Morocco team for the national anthems, Yassine Bounou proceeded to speak to the coach Walid Regragui. The latter then embraced Bounou and spoke to his reserve keeper Munir El Kajoui, who replaced Yassine Bounou as the goalkeeper.
