Gift Orban congratulated former Lyon player Sinaly Diomandé's goal against OL. Seeing the start of the controversy, the Nigerian striker backpedaled and apologized in front of his supporters.
The message goes badly for the supporters. Frustrated by this defeat against the run of play in the Europa League against Besiktas this Thursday, the Gones marked a halt with a draw against AJA (2-2) this Sunday despite a double from Georges Mikautadze. One of the Auxerre scorers Sinaly Diomandé, formerly from Lyon (from 2020 to 2024), received congratulations from his former partners in the comments of his Instagram post. Comments noted by Dejan Lovren, Karl Toko Ekambi, Tino Kadewere, Habib Keita and Gift Orban. The Nigerian striker posted: «Top» accompanied by flames, he who still plays in Lyon felt obliged to apologize to the supporters before the controversy.
“I'm sorry”
“Excuse me OL fans, it was by mistake that I made this comment. It's just to encourage my friend. I didn't even see that this is the photo from our match. […] We work hard to win matches and trophies. For OL, I'm sorry. THANKS.” he declared.
Absent from the group formed by Pierre Sage for this reception at Auxerre, Gift Orban has only played three Ligue 1 matches since the start of the season. In the Europa League, he played 11 minutes against Besiktas. The Nigerian is struggling to establish himself in the Lyon 11 and with this start of controversy the supporters should not adopt him straight away.
