Misses chances for hattrick Akindele scored once, took three shots (two on target), created one chance and received one yellow card during the 1-0 win over Toronto on Saturday.

Impact Akindele extended his point streak to two matches with a goal in the win Saturday. However, the forward should have had a brace if not a hattrick. Unfortunately for him, he did not have the finishing touch Saturday and he dropped his chances because of it. Nevertheless, he now has two goals and one assist in his past four appearances. In that time he has taken nine shots and created five chances. If Akindele can start taking more shots per game, he will eventually have a floor. However, until that happens he is more boom-or-bust than anything.
