With his hat-trick, Yassir Zabiri approaches a record held by Samuel Eto’o!

Yassir Zabiri, on loan from Rennes to Racing Santander, scored a hat-trick in his first start in La Liga against Elche, leading his team to their first victory of the season (3-2). He became the fourth Moroccan in the 21st century to achieve a hat-trick in La Liga and the second earliest African to do so, just behind Samuel Eto’o. At just 21 years old, Zabiri, a U20 World Champion, showcases his potential after a challenging start at Rennes.
