The Nigerian who started from the bench was introduced in the 59th minute and wasted no time to get his name on the scoresheet, scoring in the 65th and 72nd minute respectively in front of a roaring home crowd.

Orban who has had a nightmare start for the French outfit having failed to settle and make a meaningful impact is hoping to improve this campaign under Pierre Sage.

With the result, the club who narrowly escaped relegation following a late revival now placed fourth on the Ligue 1 McDonald's table standings.
