With Eupen leading thanks to Milos Pantovic’s 27th-minute goal, things went from bad to worse as Orban got himself sent off after he hit an Eupen defender on the face.
He was subsequently given his marching order, in what has now become his first-ever career red card.

Before he left the pitch, Orban had created the most chances (2) in the game but had no attempt before the red card.

Gent survive
Meanwhile, despite having played the second half with a numerical disadvantage, the home side dug deep to complete a stunning comeback.
Two second half goals from Sven Kums and Tarik Tissoudali inspired the 10-man hosts to a come-from-behind victory.
