Gift Orban returns with a bang: Super Eagles-ignored star nets hattrick for Gent in 5-goal UECL tie
After a run of 10 matches without a goal, Nigeria's Gift Orban is back and firing for KAA Gent across all competitions.
Orban stars for Gent
In what was his third start in three matches, the 21-year-old celebrated with another goal in Europe.
After Malick Fofana’s first half goal gave the home a slim win at the break, Gent came out firing on all cylinders in the second 45 minutes.
Arseniy Batahov’s 49th-minute own goal doubled the advantage for the home before Orban’s moment arrived in the 55th minute.
The Nigerian international latched on to a pass from Noah Fadiga before he finished with a right-footed shot from close range to make it 3-0.
Orban’s goal saw him score in back-to-back matches in the UECL, with his latest taking his tally to five in just three matches.
Omri Gendeiman made it 4-0 in the final 15 minutes to wrap up the win, but there was still time for Zorya to get a consolation as Denis Nagnoymyi pulled one goal back with eight minutes to go.
Gent registered their fourth win in five matches in the UECL to seal their progress to the next round alongside second-placed Maccabi Tel-Aviv.
