Toronto FC didn't celebrate after moving past Tigres in the quarterfinals, so it was no surprise the MLS club was low-key after its 3-1 first-leg victory over Club America on Tuesday.
For one, it's not appropriate to celebrate after a first leg when there are still 90 more minutes to play. The history, though, also has to play a part. For MLS teams, team getting a result then heading to Mexico for a second leg has been reason for panic, not celebration. Sure, you got a win, but good luck now.
Actually, it hasn't even been that optimistic.
