Kylian Mbappe has penalty saved against Morocco

Going into tonight, France were favourites to beat Morocco. However, having witnessed how well Morocco has performed in recent years, fans aren’t writing off the underdogs by any stretch of the imagination.

However, after just 25 minutes, the 2x World Cup winners received a massive opportunity to go in front when Noussair Mazraoui brought down Kylian Mbappe inside the box.

Alas, the legend had to wait three minutes before he was allowed to take his spotkick, which he fired with minimal power. Yassine Bounou easily saved the effort to keep the game level.

On the broadcast, Ally McCoist described the attempt as a: “shocking penalty.”

Of course, fans were quick to head to social media to give their reaction to the miss.

One joked: “Just watched a McCoist penalty v Motherwell. No stuttering run – arrowed into the corner. Perfect. Mbappe should watch some McCoist highlights!”

Another added: “That’s another one to add to the long list of bad penalty kicks taken during this World Cup.”

A third posted: “Absolutely shocking penalty. Emulated Lionel Messi’s from the other night.”

Luckily, in the 60th minute, Mbappe redeemed himself with an excellent goal.
