Bono closes in on El Hadary record at Africa Cup of Nations

Moroccan goalkeeper Yassine Bounou celebrates with a trophy, while Egyptian keeper Mohamed El Shenawy prepares for a match, both in distinct kits.

Morocco goalkeeper Yassine Bounou continues to make history with the national team and is now edging closer to a landmark record at the Africa Cup of Nations, currently held by Egypt legend Essam El Hadary.

Bounou has extended his run of clean sheets in the competition, keeping Morocco’s goal untouched again and strengthening his status as one of the standout keepers of this edition.

With every match, the Al Hilal shot-stopper is narrowing the gap to El Hadary’s record for the most minutes without conceding at the Africa Cup of Nations, a mark that has stood for years as one of the tournament’s toughest achievements.

Morocco’s defensive solidity has been a major feature of their campaign, and Bounou’s calm performances and decisive saves have played a key role in that stability as the Atlas Lions continue their journey in the tournament.

The coming fixtures could see Bounou move even closer to El Hadary’s number, adding another chapter to his growing international record with Morocco.
