Orban At The Double Against Union Berlin

Date:

Gift Orban made a significant impact for Lyon in a recent pre-season match against Union Berlin, coming off the bench to score two goals in a commanding 4-0 victory at Stadion An der Alten Forseteri.

 

Orban, whose future at Lyon had been uncertain amid summer transfer activities, showcased his prowess after a season where he saw limited playing time following his move from Gent.

Speculation about Orban’s potential departure heightened with Lyon’s acquisition of Georges Mikautadze to bolster their striker options alongside Alexandre Lacazette. However, Orban’s impressive performance against Union Berlin may now pause such talks.

 

Introduced in the second half, Orban capitalized on a long pass from Lucas Perri to score his first goal in the 75th minute, unleashing a powerful strike past the Berlin goalkeeper. He doubled his tally just nine minutes later, calmly tapping in a cross to secure Lyon’s comprehensive victory.

 

Orban’s goals now make it 3 goals in his 5 appearances in preseason for Lyon, suggesting the Nigerian could still in contention to keep his place at the club.
