Nigeria forward Gift Orban is in contention for the UEFA Europa Conference League Goal of the Week award.
Orban was handed a rare starting berth in KAA Gent’s matchday five tie against Ukraine’s Zorya and he justified his selection by making a good impact.
The 21-year-old scored Gent’s third goal in the 4-1 victory.
The striker received a pass from Senegal defender Noah Fadiga on 55 minutes and slotted the ball home after a superb control.
Orban was in action for 90 minutes in the encounter. READ ALSO:
