Saturday was a day of returns for Sevilla FC. The three Moroccan internationals returned to the team with minutes in the second half for Munir as Bono and En-Nesyri started, with the latter coming back from a long period out through injury. In goal, Yassine Bono, who was recently named as the best African player in La Liga Santander, in his first game back returned with a hallmark of a Julen Lopetegui team - a clean sheet. The goalkeeper, although his defence was not tested that much by Jagoba Arrasate's team, had to make a couple of important interventions to protect his clean sheet. 

In this way, Bono has now kept 47 clean sheets as a Sevilla player since his arrival in the summer of 2019 in the 87 games, which takes his clean sheet percentage to 54%. So far this season in the league he has kept 10 clean sheets in 18 games, a stat which currently only Alex Remiro can match. Valencia's Rulli and Celta's Dituro are one behind on nine, although they have played 20 and 23 games respectively. 

In terms of the standings for the Zamora Trophy, it is worth underlining that to win the award it is necessary to play 28 league games, something which for obvious reasons no goalkeeper has yet reached. Bono was absent for five matchdays and currently is the goalkeeper with the fewest goals conceded amongst the 20 that have played the most for their respective sides. He has conceded just 10 goals in his 18 matches, two fewer than Unai Simón (Athletic Club) and six fewer than Alex Remiro.
