Orban entered the match after the interval with Amedspor trailing by two goals and immediately changed the momentum of the game. The Nigerian forward found the net in the 59th minute before scoring his second goal in the 83rd minute to rescue an important point for his team.
The performance continued Orban’s impressive start at Amedspor, taking his season tally to three goals. He had already scored in the club’s previous 2-1 league victory over Trabzonspor.
Speaking after the match, Amedspor coach Besnik Hasi highlighted the importance of Orban’s contribution and praised the striker for making an immediate impact after being introduced from the bench.
The coach also praised the Nigerian forward’s reaction after beginning the match among the substitutes. According to Hasi, Orban responded in the best possible way by proving his importance to the team through his goals.
Orban joined Amedspor during the summer transfer window from Bundesliga side Hoffenheim on a season-long loan deal. The agreement also includes an option for the Turkish club to complete a permanent transfer.
Before moving to Turkey, the Nigerian striker spent the 2025/26 season on loan at Italian club Hellas Verona, gaining valuable experience in European football.
His latest display has increased expectations around the forward, with Amedspor hoping his goalscoring form can help the team compete strongly throughout the Turkish Championship campaign.
