Gift Orban was involved in a confrontation with a supporter following Hellas Verona’s 1-0 defeat by AC Milan in Serie A.
The Nigerian forward played the full match at the Bentegodi Stadium as Verona suffered a fifth consecutive league loss, with Adrien Rabiot scoring the decisive goal to move Milan up to second in the table.
An incident occurred outside the stadium after the final whistle, where Orban was reportedly approached by supporters. Witnesses, cited by Italian media, said the striker declined a request for a photograph before tensions escalated.

Reports suggest the situation worsened when a fan struck Orban’s car, prompting the player to leave his vehicle and confront those involved. The altercation was filmed by bystanders and has since circulated on social media.
Authorities are now reviewing the footage, with Italy’s public order police unit overseeing investigations into the incident. Further details are expected once enquiries are completed.
