CONCACAF Champions League: Sounders, Striped Gang Advance To Semis

Two games were played on Tuesday as the second and final week of the CONCACAF Champions League's quarterfinal round commenced.

At Seattle:

Goals from DeAndre Yedlin (53'), Djimi Traore (60'), and Eddie Johnson (75') enabled the Seattle Sounders to bounce back from 1-0 halftime and 2-0 aggregate deficits and upend visiting ten-man Tigres 3-1 in game two and win their two-game series 3-2 on aggregate.  The Sounders became the first Major League Soccer club to eliminate a Mexican club in this tournament since the current format was inaugurated five years ago.

At Monterrey, Mexico:

Walter Ayovi scored in the 63rd minute as Monterrey gained a 1-1 game-two home draw with Zelaju and won their two-match series with the Guatemalan club 4-2 on aggregate.
