In its 30th minute match between Basaksehir and Gentthe score had not yet been opened and, given that the first match for the “16” of the Europa Conference had ended 1-1, everything was open.
A little later, in the 34th minute, the Belgians had taken a lead… 3-0, thanks to Gift Orban’s historic hat trick!
The 20-year-old Nigerian striker scored in 31′, 32′ and 34′ dashing the hopes of the Turks for qualification, with Kuipers to make it 4-0 three minutes later.

Of course, what remains is the record of the African forward, which he can be proud of having set the fastest hat-trick in a UEFA competition – in three minutes and 25 seconds!
“Nigerian Haaland” some joked, a day after quintet of the Norwegian in Leipzigwith Orban having only moved to the Belgian club in January from Stambaek for €3.3m.
And he has already managed to make a difference, as in nine matches with Ghent, he has already scored twelve goals!
Yes, in away 6-2 against Zulte Waregem a few days ago for the league, he scored four of his team’s goals…
