With four goals in seven matches and just one start, Gift Orban is back scoring goals at TSG Hoffeinheim.
In a rare start, Gift Orban scored in the 74th minute for Hoffenheim in their 1-1 draw against VfB Stuttgart in the Bundesliga.
A cross causes chaos and ends up at the feet of Kramarić, who keeps his composure to tee up Orban. The striker also stays cool, dribbling past one defender and finding the left-hand corner.
The goal is Orban’s 4th goal in seven matches for the team he joined in the January winter transfer window.
From Frying Pan To Fire
Orban was coming out of a hellish one season in France with Olympique Lyon, looking for revival.
At Lyon, he scored two goals in three games as he played few games due to off-field issues and suspensions from the club.
His off-field issues include a controversial social media post and reports of poor training performances.
His exit from Lyon mirrored the one from the Belgian club, Gent, after an exciting time scoring goals.
For Gent, Orban was raining goals, scoring 32 goals in 52 games in the Jupiler, playoffs, and conference league.
Orban’s desire to move on to bigger challenges led to isolation and disagreements with Genk’s coach.
A New Dawn at Hoffeinheim
Meanwhile, before yesterday’s game, Orban has been an impact substitute from the bench, scoring three goals.
However, Hoffenheim is now 14th on the Bundesliga table, with 22 points from 23 games, and is six points above the relegation spots.
