Gift Orban scores brace in Lyon pre-season win

Iheanacho targets success with Nigerian teammate Ejuke at Sevilla

Gift Orban scored his first goal of pre-season for Olympique Lyon by netting twice in a 4-0 win over Union Berlin on Saturday.

Both sides played out a goalless first half and the Nigerian forward came on at the start of the second half for Georges Mikautadze.

Former Arsenal midfielder Ainsley Maitland-Niles broke the deadlock in the 49th minute before Algeria winger Said Benrahma doubled it the 65th minute.

Next was Orban whose moment came in the 75th and 84th minute.


The 22-year-old joined Les Gones from Belgian side Gent in January and scored three goals in 16 competitive appearances.

Lyon will take on Arsenal in the Emirates Cup before beginning the Ligue 1 season away at Rennes on August 18.
