???? Benteke won the Golden Boot last year, so I don’t think finishing is his weakness. I’m guessing you had something else in mind?
He has all of the traits of Benteke but the finishing. Hence, poor man's Benteke..... a VERY poor man's. In essence he COULD potentially be Benteke, but he's not.

Some wonderful cup stories in Italy and England this year. With Bologna over AC Milan (first notable title since 1974) and Crystal Palace over Manchester City (first notable title ever).
And Newcastle United's first major trophy since the Fair's Cup (Europa League) in 1969. They've been runners-up 7 times in that time.
Oh, I didn't realize Canadian Championship was also in this thread. Montreal struggled to get the ball out of their half and gave up a goal in part because of some adventures in goalkeeping.
Late penalty to San Jose. Timbers seem to have forgotten VAR is a thing and are earning yellow cards hither and thither rather than allow the review to happen.
Ball was eventually placed just outside the 18, much to the chagrin of Bruce Arena. Three Timbers got yellow carded in the shenanigans.
Vancouver made 10 changes from the weekend and Montreal 8 but given what happened against Toronto that probably strengthened them

I think Lucho has deserved three yellow cards in the last two minutes: one for a foul where he didn't play the ball at all, one for knocking the ball away so NYRB couldn't take the free kick quickly, and then - after another foul - clapping sarcastically at the 4th = dissent. Any one of them would have been a second yellow and taken him out of a potential shootout spot.
