Monterrey crushes Sporting Kansas City to reach Concacaf Champions League final

Monterrey set up an all-Mexican Concacaf Champions League final with Tigres UANL after dismantling Sporting Kansas City 5-2 in the second leg of Thursday's semifinal.

Miguel Layun scored a stunning free-kick as Monterrey twice came from behind to beat hosts Sporting KC and claim a crushing 10-2 aggregate victory.

MLS outfit Sporting KC faced an uphill battle following their humiliating 5-0 defeat to the three-time champions in the first leg last week.

Gerso Fernandes put Sporting KC ahead on the night thanks to his sixth-minute opener at Children's Mercy Park, though their slim hopes of reaching the final were dashed by Rogelio Funes Mori 14 minutes later.
