Moroccan international Yassine Bounou, goalkeeper for the national team, expressed his pride and overwhelming happiness at playing his 100th international match for the "Atlas Lions", which coincided with a resounding victory over Niger by a score of 5-1, on Friday evening at the Mohammed V Stadium in Casablanca, in the third round of the Africa Cup of Nations Qualification for 2027.

In post-match statements, Yassine Bounou expressed his feelings, saying: "It's a great feeling that's hard to describe, especially since I played my 100th match in Casablanca. I thank all the fans who came to support us, and the players who delivered a great match. We hope to continue improving our level to achieve our goals, God willing."

Regarding his technical reading of the match, the keeper of the "Lions" explained: "At first, the Niger national team did not apply much pressure on us, but they managed to create two dangerous attempts, which gave them confidence and pushed them to apply more pressure. However, thanks to the speed of our players, we were able to secure the result and score five goals."
