Al Hilal SC’s Moroccan international Yassine Bounou has won the Goalkeeper of the Month October award in the Saudi Pro League (RSL).
Bono received the accolade after keeping clean sheets for Al Hilal in three league matches during the month in question. They thrashed Al Ettifaq 5-0, beat Al Ittihad 2-0 and last Friday’s 1-0 success over Al Shabab.
The shot stopper was, therefore, recognised for the role he played in ensuring Al Hilal collected nine points from the three games in match weeks five to seven. Apart from Bono, SPL is also home to Senegalese keeper Edouard Mendy plays for Al-Ahli.
Al Hilal, whose squad comprises Senegalese Kalidou Koulibaly, moved to second place on the Saudi Pro League table after their run of good form, trailing Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane-led Al Nassr by four points.
The Saudi Pro League is home to many African players, including Algerian Riyad Mahrez, Nigerian William Troost-Ekong, Ivorian Franck Kessie and Zambian Fashion Sakala.
