Club America, Monterrey advance in CONCACAF Champions League Mexico City (AFP) – Federico Vinas scored twice as Club America held off the determined Portland Timbers, beating the Major League Soccer outfit 3-1 to reach the CONCACAF Champions League semi-finals.
Uruguay’s Vinas scored in the first half and added a second from the penalty spot in the second at Azteca Stadium in rainy Mexico City, where Leonardo Suarez capped the scoring for the Liga MX side after Diego Valeri pulled the Timbers within one with a penalty.
After a 1-1 draw in Portland last week, Club America advanced with a 4-2 aggregate to face the Philadelphia Union, the lone MLS side left standing after Liga MX club Monterrey ousted MLS Cup champions Columbus Crew earlier Wednesday.
