Super Eagles winger, Gift Orban scored his first Ligue 1 goal in Lyon’s 3-1 away victory at Moses Simon’s Nantes on Sunday.

After 10 league appearnces for the former French champions, Orban finally got his goal very late in the game.

Orban came on a second half substitute in the 86th minute as he replaced Alexsandre Lacazette who scored the equalizer.

The 21-year-old got into action immediately and scored with the last kick of the game 10 minutes later.

The Nigerian winger was left unmarked in the box as he buried the ball into the back of net from a tailor-made pass from Malian midfielder Mama Balde.

Gift Orban has now 3 goals in 13 appearances in all competitions for Lyon this season after joining the club in January.
