By completing a hat-trick in the shortest time in UEFA club competition history, Gift Orban has cemented his place in history.
In the second leg of Gent vs. Istanbul Başakşehir’s round of 16 match, the Nigerian striker scored three goals in three minutes and 25 seconds.
He surpassed records set in the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League.
