The goal came after another strong attacking move involving Abongile Mase, who provided the assist to set up Ndamane for the decisive finish.

The brace was particularly notable for Ndamane, who had played as an emergency goalkeeper in the team’s previous match. Returning to his usual attacking role, he demonstrated his striking ability by delivering two crucial goals.
