Strasbourg vs Auxerre: Yassine leads a 5-1 response at the Meinau

Strasbourg ended a four-match league losing run by beating Auxerre 5-1 at the Meinau on 1 November 2026. Gessime Yassine drove the turnaround with two goals and an assist, and Strasbourg looked much more like a side in control than one that had been drifting through a bad spell.

Yassine's direct hand in the win

The key figure was Yassine, who set up Martial Godo's goal before scoring in the 77th and 85th minutes. Depending on which report you read, the first of those goals is placed in the 75th or 77th minute, but the bigger point does not change: he had his part in three of Strasbourg's five goals.

His 2 goals and 1 assist made him the decisive player in the match, and his 9.53 rating reflected that control. Dário Essugo had opened the scoring, and Strasbourg were already ahead before the game tilted even further their way.

Auxerre's collapse after the red card

Auxerre stayed in touch until Lamfia Dioubaté was sent off in the 74th minute for abusive language. After that, Strasbourg scored twice more and finished the job with Yassine's late brace, turning a tight game into a heavy defeat for the visitors.

Hugo Oliveira's side needed a result after the four straight league losses, and this was the kind of answer they required. Strasbourg moved to 16th in Ligue 1 with 7 points after eight matches, which is still a worrying position, but the margin of the win at least gives them a little breathing room before the pressure builds again.
