While La Gantoise went to Istanbul Başakşehir on Wednesday evening in the Conference League round of 16, Gift Orban achieved the incredible feat of scoring a hat-trick… in three short minutes.
In the 31st minute, he took advantage of a fine pass from Hong to open the scoring, before placing an unstoppable long shot a minute later. In the 34th, he deceived Babacan once more in two stages. A few moments later, Cuypers increased the score, definitively putting Vanhaezebrouck’s protégés. A hat-trick reminiscent of that of Openda once morest Clermont or the quintuplet of Haaland once morest Leipzig.
A performance that makes history since it is the fastest hat-trick in the history of the European Cup. On the bench, Hein Vanhaezebrouck might not believe it. The striker had already scored seven goals in the last four games – including four once morest Zulte Waregem on Sunday. At the end of the match, Januzaj saved the honor for the teammates of Biglia and Okaka.
Thanks to this great success, the Buffalos qualify for the quarter-finals of the Conference League.
