Gift Orban Matches Osimhen’s Turkish Super Lig Tally with Hat-trick
Nigeria and Amedspor striker, Gift Orban, continued his fine start to the campaign in the Turkish Super Lig, scoring a hat-trick to inspire a resounding 5-0 victory over Istanbul Başakşehir
Nigeria's striker Gift Orban netted a hat-trick to lead his Turkish Super Lig side Amedspor to a 5-0 drubbing of Istanbul Başakşehir on Sunday night. The former Hellas Verona player scored three goals in the second half, showcasing a superb performance for the hosts. Orban put Amedspor ahead seven minutes after the restart, heading in a cross from Furkan Soyalp.
He added another goal two minutes later, capitalizing on a swift counter-attack. Orban sealed his hat-trick calmly from close range, converting Ermal Krasniqi's precise pass with fifteen minutes left on the clock. His three goals this season have put Orban level with Super Eagles teammate Victor Osimhen in terms of tally. Orban, who joined Amedspor on loan during the summer, has been in great form since the campaign began, scoring six goals and providing an assist in five league matches.
Amedspor's Nigerian forward has found the net against Trabzonspor, Kasimpasa and Başakşehir this season, proving himself as one of the league's standout forwards. Osimhen has also started brightly, scoring six goals and two assists in four appearances before picking up a hamstring injury. Orban is keen to maintain his impressive form and secure a return to the Super Eagles ahead of the upcoming AFCON qualifiers against Mozambique and Guinea-Bissau.
