Yassir Zabiri Sees Goal Disallowed as Santander Fall at Rayo Vallecano

Yassir Zabiri completed the full 90 minutes for Racing Santander and saw a goal disallowed as his side fell to a 3–2 defeat away to Rayo Vallecano.

By the Atlas Lions Editorial Desk5 Sept 2026How we report

Racing Santander suffered their second defeat of the season after falling to a 3–2 loss away to Rayo Vallecano on Matchday 4 of La Liga.

Moroccan international Yassir Zabiri started the encounter and remained on the pitch for the full match, continuing to gain valuable experience at the highest level of Spanish football.

Zabiri Finds the Net, But Goal Is Disallowed

The Moroccan forward delivered a respectable performance and appeared to have found the back of the net during the contest.

However, the goal was ruled out after the referee judged that Zabiri had committed a foul against a Rayo Vallecano defender in the build-up.

The decision proved debatable, with the incident leaving room for discussion.

Zabiri also received a yellow card in the 25th minute following a challenge on a Rayo Vallecano player.

Santander Look to Bounce Back

Despite the result, Zabiri’s full-match involvement represents another important step in his development in Spain.

Racing Santander currently sit 11th with four points after four matches, with plenty of football still ahead in the campaign.

For Zabiri, the focus now turns to the next opportunity, another chance to continue his progression and make his mark in La Liga.

The season is still young, and the next chapter awaits.
