Gift Orban inspires Verona comeback in dramatic win against Bologna

Gift Orban played a decisive role as Hellas Verona FC came from behind to beat Bologna FC 1909 2–1 in Serie A.

Although Bologna initially took the lead through Jonathan Rowe early in the second half, Verona quickly responded.

First, Martin Frese equalised with a powerful long-range strike. Just minutes later, Verona struck again when Orban set up Kieron Bowie for the winning goal from close range.

Orban later appeared to help create a third goal during a counterattack, but the strike by Amin Sarr was ruled out after a VAR review.

Orban, 23, now has 7 goals and 2 assists in 23 appearances since joining on loan from Bundesliga side Hoffenheim.
