Bounou Named Man of the Match After Stellar Performance Against Salzburg

Moroccan goalkeeper Yassine Bounou was crowned Man of the Match in Al Hilal’s goalless draw against Salzburg on Sunday at Audi Field, Washington, during the second round of Club World Cup group stage matches.

Thanks to his heroic saves, Bounou earned the highest player rating (8.1/10) by SofaScore. Just days earlier, he saved a penalty against Real Madrid, securing a valuable 1-1 draw.

Al Hilal now needs a win over Pachuca and must hope for a decisive result between Real Madrid and Salzburg. If it ends in a draw, Hilal must win by two goals to advance.
