Gessime Yassine stood out this Tuesday, March 3, 2026, during the quarter-final of the Coupe de France between Strasbourg and Reims. In a highly competitive first half, the young Moroccan thought he had provided a golden opportunity for Racing by winning a penalty after an action in the box.
But the joy was short-lived: after review, VAR annulled the decision, deeming the penalty unjustified. This sequence nonetheless confirmed Yassine’s contribution to the Strasbourg game, as he is capable of provoking and creating imbalance in crucial areas.
In the end, Strasbourg secured their qualification by winning 2-1 in a match that remained tight until the end.
