- Kylian Mbappe saw his penalty saved by Morocco goalkeeper Bono after being forced to wait over three minutes before taking the kick in their World Cup quarter-final in Boston
- France advanced past Morocco with a 2-0 victory in the quarter-final despite the missed penalty
- Bono denied Mbappe from the spot, denying France a chance to extend their lead during a tense passage of the knockout match
Why it matters: Even with their star forward's penalty miss, France advanced comfortably 2-0 over Morocco to the World Cup semi-finals, though the unusual three-minute wait before the kick will draw scrutiny from FIFA over officiating procedures in knockout-stage matches.
