Zabiri Hat-Trick Secures Home Victory for Real Racing Club

Youssef Zabiri produced a clinical performance to fire Real Racing Club to a 3-2 win over Elche at home. The striker opened the scoring in the 15th minute, then doubled his tally six minutes later to give the hosts complete control. Zabiri completed his hat-trick in the 36th minute, seemingly putting the match beyond reach before half-time.

Elche rallied after the interval but could not close the gap. Real Racing Club's discipline wavered as the match wore on, with F. González receiving a yellow card in the 43rd minute and A. Mantilla cautioned just before half-time. The visitors pulled back two goals but fell short in their comeback bid, with F. Buonanotte booked in the 63rd minute as frustrations mounted.

The three points settled the contest in Real Racing Club's favour, though Elche's second-half resistance prevented a more comfortable outcome. Zabiri's three-goal haul secured the result at 3-2.
