Goals from Krisztian Nemeth, Gerso Fernandes and Ilie Sanchez—who uncorked a blast from the top of the box to effectively bury any hopes of a first-leg comeback—helped Sporting Kansas City earn a big win over Liga MX-side Toluca in the Concacaf Champions League round of 16.
Both sides went close early on, shooting just wide of goal but continuing to build pressure. Then Gerso brought down a long ball in the 35th minute and drove into the box before losing the ball. Luckily for Sporting KC, Nemeth was there to fire the ball into the back of the net and give the MLS side a lead it wouldn't relinquish all night.
