Orban equals 23-year-old record
The latest performance from Gent man of the moment, Orban, has seen the youngster equal a 23-year-old European record.
Nigeria’s Orban scored a three-minute hat-trick to equal the fastest hat-trick ever scored in European competitions.
Mark Burchill of Celtic set that record back in August 2000 when the Scottish giants thrashed Jeunesse Esch 7-0 in the UEFA Cup.
However, as per UEFA records, Orban’s three minutes and 25 seconds hat-trick is the fastest in the continent’s club competitions.
Gent reach quarterfinals
A blistering opening first-half display saw Gent book a place in the quarterfinal of the Europa Conference League in style.
Orban scored a wonderful hat-trick to continue his remarkable form while Hugo Cuypers added a fourth to give Gent a comfortable 4-0 lead at halftime.
Former Manchester United winger, Adnan Januzaj, came off the bench to score a consolation for the host, giving the result a more respectable look.
