Gessime Yassine named man of the match in 6-2 win

Gessime Yassine has been recognised as the standout player from Racing Strasbourg’s 6-2 victory over ESTAC Troyes, after DNA selected him as its man of the match. The recognition gives the 20-year-old right winger the main individual accolade from a match in which Racing scored six times.

Racing’s four-goal victory was decided by an eight-goal contest, with Strasbourg conceding twice but producing the stronger attacking return. Yassine’s selection identifies his contribution as the most influential among the players involved for Racing. No league-table position or form sequence is included in the available match data, so the wider effect of the result on Strasbourg’s campaign cannot be established here.

Yassine plays for RC Strasbourg Alsace and holds Moroccan and French citizenship. He moved to Strasbourg from USL Dunkerque during the 2025-26 season in a transfer valued at €7 million. Before joining Dunkerque, he progressed from Istres FC’s under-17 team to its under-19 side in 2022-23, then moved to Marignane G’s under-19 squad and later to Dunkerque during 2023-24. His current listed market value at Strasbourg is €12 million.
