Thanks to a triple Gift Orban (15th, 35th, 64th) and a double of Hugo Cuypers (40th, 45th + 1), La Gantoise won 5-0 against Pogon Szczecin in the first leg of the third preliminary round of the Conference League on Wednesday. The Buffalos can look forward to returning to Miejski Stadium next Thursday (6 p.m.) with confidence.
At the Buffalos, Hein Vanhaezebrouck lined up Davy Roef in goal although he preferred him Paul Nardi when returning to Zilina. In attack, the Ghent coach established Orban, whom he had left on the bench in the last two matches. In the Polish clan, Jens Gustafsson regretted the absence of his titular goalkeeper, Dante Stipica.
The bad feeling of the Swedish technician was confirmed since Bartosz Klebaniuk offered a gift to Orban by releasing a shot from Julien de Sart (15th, 1-0). The Polish goalkeeper has not yet been at the party when on a center of Sven Cums, Orban deceived him with his head (35th, 2-0). Pressed by Orban, Klebaniuk again committed a blunder by leaving his goal to clear a ball, which he sent into the feet of Cuypers (40th, 3-0).
On a dismissal from a Polish defender, the striker also scored twice from the left (45th + 1, 4-0). Absent offensively until then, the Poles had a burst at the start of the second half with Kamil Grosicki, author of the only shot on target for his team (60th). But on the first occasion, Orban allowed La Gantoise to become the seventh team to score at least five times in three consecutive European matches during the same campaign (64th, 5-0). This earned the Nigerian striker out to public applause (89th).
