\"\"TFC\u2019s Sebastian Giovinco may have scored late in the wild card game against Mexico’s Tigres UANL and lost 3-2, but the Toronto club still managed to advance to the CONCACAF Champions League<\/a> semi-finals.<\/p>\n

Last Wednesday saw Toronto playing its first game of a two-leg series at BMO Field and winning 2-1. The goal scored by Giovinco goal and Rafael Carioca scoring an own goal provide the team with two away goals, and that is what saw them move into the semi-finals.<\/p>\n

For MLS teams, Mexico has been somewhat of a graveyard with only three MLS teams winning on Mexican soil. Last week\u2019s New York Red Bulls 2-0 victory against Club Tijuana was the third, with the other wins coming from the Seattle Sounders against Monterrey and FC Dallas against the Pumas. Each of those wins came with narrow margins of only one goal.<\/p>\n

Tigres UANL\u2019s<\/a> Andre-Pierre Gignac had two goals for the night, and Eduardo Vargas added another courtesy of a header. Tigres got intense 24 minutes into the first half with Gignac sent a cross to Jesus Duenas and giving him a chance on target. However, David Mavinga, a defender with TFC was able to block the shot as his teammates came to his aid putting a stop to the rebound.<\/p>\n
