The Finnish striker is a traditional number 9, who thrives on crosses into the box and likes to use his strength to link up with his teammates. Kuqi did his part brilliantly for the entirety of the game, winning the majority of his aerial duels, passing it well and getting in good positions.

But the problem was that he did not receive a single decent cross in his stride until the 80th minute. ATK had a striker with his distinct skill set but the wingers and the midfielders failed to take advantage of it. He was desperate for better service but failed to receive it.
