no......your guess is wrong...you have to mind that the portion where light ray strikes is not at all a portion..its just a point..i.e.centre of curvature...The reason for it to behave as such(getting reflected along the same direction) is that it strikes the surface in normal direction i.e making an angle 90 degrees.
