Ndoro is a very humble player off the field, but abrasive on the pitch and Chiefs defenders can attest to that following the Zimbabwean's brace on his Soweto Derby debut.
The lanky striker threatened to open the scoring inside the opening 20 minutes, only to be denied by Reyaad Pieterse after beating his markers for pace on the left hand side of the Amakhosi box.
However, he wasn't to be denied in the second half, as his thumping shot from close gave Pieterse no chance. The player's positioning and first touch from a Mpho Makola pass were out of this world.
As if Ndoro was done, he struck again, this time from outside the box in the 86th minute to seal Pirates' spot in the Last 16 of the Nedbank Cup. He also engraved his name on the list of players who have scored twice on Soweto Derby debut.
