In a thrilling Serie A encounter on Sunday, Hellas Verona secured a 2-1 away victory over Fiorentina, thanks to a brace from Gift Orban. The Nigerian striker’s goals in the 42nd and 90+5 minutes proved decisive, moving Verona up to 18th place in the league table.
The match began with both sides creating chances, and Orban broke the deadlock three minutes before half‑time, giving Verona a 1-0 lead. Fiorentina’s advantage was short‑lived, however, as they equalised in the 69th minute through an own goal by Unai Núñez. The score remained level until deep into stoppage time, when Orban struck again to seal the win. His second goal of the match, the fourth of the season, capped an impressive performance; he has now recorded four goals and one assist in 11 league appearances for Verona.
The victory marked a significant turnaround for Paolo Zanetti’s side, which had been languishing in 19th position before the match. With three points, Verona moved ahead of their opponents, who remain in a mid‑table position. The win could provide a much‑needed boost to Verona’s campaign as they seek to climb the Serie A table. Their next match will be crucial in determining their trajectory and establishing themselves as a formidable opponent in the Italian top flight.
