Club America and Tigres progress to CONCACAF Champions League semifinals

After Liga MX dominance in the quarterfinals, the CONCACAF Champions League semifinals are set: Santos Laguna will take on Club America, while Queretaro will play current Liga MX champions Tigres.

Club America reached their second consecutive CONCACAF Champions League semifinals with a 5-3 aggregate victory over the Seattle Sounders on Wednesday night.

Goals from Darwin Quintero, Oribe Peralta, and Andres Andrade enabled Las Aguilas to a comfortable win against their MLS counterparts.

Ignacio Ambriz's side threatened throughout the first half, but fell behind before the interval because of an own-goal from Pablo Aguilar. As the defender was falling, Osvaldo Alonso's cross was directed past Aguilar's own goalkeeper to give the Sounders a surprise lead.
