Nigerian wonderkid Gift Orban on target again for Gent as Belgian league kicks off

Nigerian youngster Gift Orban has continued from where he stopped on Friday for Gent.

Orban found the net again during the five-goal thriller between his club Gent and Kortrijk on Sunday.

Gent defeated Kortrijk 3-2 to seal back-to-back wins in the space of two days following their win against MSK Zilina on Friday.

Orban continued from where he stopped last season after an excellent outing in the UEFA Europa Conference League for Gent.

The Nigerian young scored his first goal of the season for Belgian side KAA Gent as they kicked off their UECL qualifiers with a win.

He opened the floodgate with his first goal of the season as Gent dominated and thrashed Zilina to open their Europa Conference League journey with a convincing and comfortable win at home.

Two days after he netted in a dominant win in the UECL, Orban has opened his account for the season in the Jupiler.

The 21-year-old scored the third goal of the day as Gent defeated a spirited Kortrijk to kick off the new season with a win.

Orban has now scored two goals in his first two matches this season for his Belgian club across competitions.

Orban joined Gent from Stabaek in January and scored 20 goals in 22 appearances to fire the club to Europa, attracting the attention of clubs across Europe.
