Gift Orban fired his 11^th goal of the season in a 2-1 win by Gent at Standard Liege.

He opened scoring in the 31^st minute, when he received a through ball from the middle of the bench and raced away to fire home from the top of the box.

The striker’s audacious strike from the centre circle crashed against the crossbar soon after.

It would have been the Goal of the Season.
