This is the question that Orlando Pirates fans have been
asking themselves lately as the Zimbabwean international striker is fastly proving
to be the solution to the goal scoring problems the club once
encountered in the past.
The on-form striker
scored an extra-time goal and provided an assist to secure a Nedbank cup
semi-final spot for the Buccaneers after a 2-0 victory over Mamelodi Sundowns
at Lucas Masterpieces Moripe stadium yesterday.
Arguably the most in-form striker currently in the
South African league, Ndoro has scored 10 goals in his last nine games for the Sea
robbers.
In recent weeks, the striker has
received the nickname “fire” from the
club’s supporters following his goal-scoring
form which has seen him win numerous man of the match awards.
The Zimbabwean striker scored a goal after 19 minutes of
play in the extra-time after a superb long ball played by Thabo Qalinge. He
shortly followed the goal with an assist for Mpho Makola to slot home the
second goal.
The 30-year old joined Orlando Pirates from Mpumalanga
Black Aces on a free transfer at the beginning
of the season. He is a proven goal
scorer who won the Zimbabwean premier league top goal scorer with 18 goals while
playing for Chicken Inn in 2013.
Born in Luwewe, Zimbabwe
in 1988, Ndoro has set himself a target of finishing as the club’s top goal
scorer this season. He is currently on 10 goals in all competitions, one more
than Mpho Makola.
The semi-final draw of the Nedbank cup will be made on
Monday of 26 April at the PSL headquarters in Parktown, Johannesburg. This year’s
draw will include Free State stars, Supersport United, Orlando Pirates and a
winner between Polokwane City and Baroka FC.
