Valmiera FC continued their dominant streak in the Virsliga Championship with a resounding 3-0 victory over FS Metta, fueled by a standout performance from Alioune Ndoye, who scored a brace.
Alioune Ndoye, the 22-year-old center forward, showcased his exceptional form once again in Latvian football.
Following his remarkable four-goal haul against FK Tukums 2000 just days earlier, Ndoye opened the scoring against FS Metta with a stylish backheel in the 36th minute.
This set the tone for Valmiera FC, who swiftly doubled their advantage through Lukass Vapne in the 39th minute.
In the closing stages of the match, Ndoye struck again in the 82nd minute, capitalizing on an assist from Maksims Tonisevs to secure his second goal of the game and his ninth of the season.
This victory marks Valmiera FC’s seventh consecutive win, consolidating their position in second place in the Virsliga standings.
Alioune Ndoye, who joined Valmiera FC in August 2020 from Teungueth FC, has been a pivotal figure in their recent successes.
His goal-scoring prowess has not gone unnoticed, prompting speculation about his future beyond the current season.
Reports suggest that Ndoye could depart during the upcoming summer transfer window, with potential destinations including clubs in France or FK RFS, the reigning Virsliga champions and current league leaders.
Ndoye’s potential departure adds to the uncertainty surrounding Valmiera FC’s lineup going forward, especially as they aim to maintain their momentum in the league.
His teammate and compatriot Djibril Gueye is also reportedly considering his options, indicating a possible period of transition for the Latvian club.
As the Virsliga season progresses, Ndoye’s contributions remain pivotal to Valmiera FC’s ambitions.
His ability to consistently find the back of the net has not only bolstered their attacking prowess but also raised his profile within the league and beyond.
Whether he remains with Valmiera FC or seeks new challenges abroad, Ndoye’s impact on Latvian football is undeniable, marking him as a player to watch in future seasons.
Valmiera FC will look to build on their recent successes under Ndoye’s leadership, aiming to challenge FK RFS for the Virsliga title while navigating the complexities of the upcoming transfer window and potential roster changes.
