Moroccan international Yassine Zabiri was instrumental in Racing Santander’s victory on Saturday, scoring a decisive brace against Deportivo Alavés on Matchday 5 of the Spanish football championship (LaLiga).
Trailing from the 18th minute after Koski opened the scoring for Alavés, Santander quickly responded thanks to the Moroccan striker’s clinical finishing. Zabiri first restored parity in the 38th minute, before scoring the winning goal after the break (53rd).
Replaced to applause in the 73rd minute, the young Atlas Lion was logically named “Man of the Match” in recognition of his outstanding performance.
With this performance, the Moroccan takes his tally to five goals this season, confirming his sparkling form after the resounding hat-trick he had already scored against Elche on Matchday 3.
This latest performance moves Zabiri into second place in the LaLiga top scorers’ standings, with five goals, level with Rayo Vallecano striker Sergio Camello and just behind FC Barcelona’s leading scorer, Raphinha.
In the overall standings, this valuable victory lifts Racing Santander to 8th place, with seven points, while Deportivo Alavés retain 2nd place, with 10 points.
