While Galatasaray fans spent the weekend celebrating Victor Osimhen’s towering header against Konyaspor, Orban refused to let his compatriot command the spotlight alone. 

The 24-year-old dynamo produced an absolute masterclass to lead Amedspor to a ruthless 5-1 thrashing of Eyupspor, breathing heavily down Osimhen’s neck and setting football viewing centers across Nigeria on fire.

With another brilliant goal and an elite assist in the bag, Orban has sensationally moved completely level with the 27-year-old Osimhen at the absolute summit of the goal-scoring charts.

The Unstoppable Sunday Masterclass

Orban’s display against Eyupspor was nothing short of an absolute footballing clinic. He terrorised the visitors' backline from the opening whistle, proving that his early-season form is no fluke.

Beyond hitting his ninth goal of a spectacular campaign, Orban’s all-around game was completely flawless.

Over the 90 minutes, the Super Eagles prospect dictated the attack, registering a magnificent 90% pass accuracy, creating two clear-cut goalscoring opportunities, making a vital key pass, and missing two big chances to extend the scoreline even further.

The goal and assist take his incredible seasonal tally to nine goals and four assists, locked in a dead heat with Osimhen as the two most terrifying forwards in the country.
