The break quickly helped the Bufallos get their heads back on track. Taking advantage of a penalty obtained by CuypersOrban scored a double by deceiving the opposing goalkeeper on the wrong foot to allow Ghent to come back early in the match (54th).
More confident after finding the net this weekend, Orban even scored a hat-trick which shows that he is back. Found by Gerkens on a superb pass which pierced the entire Icelandic defense, Tissoudali, just returned, cleverly slipped the ball to Orban. Deceived by this collective movement, the Icelandic goalkeeper was then late and could no longer prevent the Nigerian from scoring his third goal of the evening (69th).
Trailing again, the Icelanders were forced to move further forward but Nardi remained focused and relaxed perfectly when he had to (81st). Despite the (light) pressure exerted by the locals, Ghent held on to snatch a new victory which was nevertheless off to a bad start at the break.
At the same time, Maccabi Tel-Aviv made short work of Zorya Louhansk (1-3) to take second place in the group with six points behind La Gantoise (10) but ahead of Maccabi Tel-Aviv ( 4) and Breidablik (0). Important point: the meeting between the Ukrainians and the Israelis had been postponed due to the current geopolitical situation. Ghent’s advantage in the ranking will therefore be (a little?) reduced but will remain, whatever happens, in the lead once this meeting is over.
