Gent claims significant advantage in Conference League qualifiers with Orban's goal

Posted : 28 July 2023
Nigeria's talented striker, Gift Orban, showcased his scoring prowess once again as he found the back of the net for Gent in their dominant 5-1 victory over Zilina during the first-leg second qualifying round of the UEFA Europa Conference League.

Orban kick-started the scoring spree in the 23rd minute, giving Gent a 1-0 lead before his teammates added four more goals, securing a significant first-leg advantage for the club. 

The 21-year-old striker has been thriving in Europe's third-tier competition, having netted an impressive 6 goals in the previous season, propelling Gent to the quarterfinals. 

A notable highlight was his stunning hat-trick in just 205 seconds during Gent's 4-1 victory over Istanbul Basaksehir in the second-leg of the round of 16.

With an incredible tally of 20 goals in 22 appearances across all competitions for Gent, despite only joining them in January, Orban has garnered interest from various European suitors. Nevertheless, the Belgian club is determined to retain their star striker for at least one more season.

In the second half of the match, Julien De Sart, Hugo Cuypers, and Tsuyoshi Watanabe contributed four more goals, further solidifying Gent's commanding lead. 

As the focus now shifts to the return leg in Slovakia next week, the winner of the tie over two legs will advance to the third qualifying round of the UEFA Europa Conference League.
