The 27-year-old found the back of the net for the first time in the Turkish Süper Lig during a clash against his former club, Fatih Karagümrük.
Ndao, who has struggled to score this season, has nonetheless retained the trust of his coaches at Konyaspor, including Fahrudin Omerovic.
Despite his goal-scoring drought, Ndao’s persistence and commitment have earned him consistent opportunities on the field, exemplified by his fourth consecutive start for Konyaspor.
In a poignant twist of fate, Ndao faced his former club, Fatih Karagümrük, where he enjoyed a fruitful spell, registering 14 goals and 14 assists in 59 appearances.
The Senegalese forward, who joined Konyaspor from Istanbulspor during the winter transfer window, seized the moment in the 43rd minute of the game, opening the scoring against his former teammates.
However, Fatih Karagümrük managed to salvage a point with a late equalizer from Guven Yalcin in the 85th minute, resulting in a 1-1 draw.
While Ndao’s goal marked a personal milestone, the result proved inconclusive for both teams in their battle for survival in the Süper Lig.
Despite the shared disappointment of failing to secure a crucial victory, Ndao’s goal serves as a testament to his resilience and determination to make an impact at Konyaspor.
As the Süper Lig season progresses, Ndao’s contribution will be pivotal as Konyaspor seeks to navigate the challenges ahead and achieve their objectives in the league standings.
For Ndao, his maiden goal in the Süper Lig represents not only a personal triumph but also a symbol of his enduring commitment to excel at the highest level of Turkish football.
