After winning the first leg 3-1 in Toronto last week, the defending MLS Cup champions face Club America at the Azteca Stadium in Tuesday’s semifinal second leg.
The Reds do have a two-goal advantage, but there’s plenty left to be decided with America heading home to one of the region’s most intimidating venues with an away goal from the first leg.
The winner will face either the New York Red Bulls or Chivas in the CCL final.

Match Preview
Toronto FC appears to be Major League Soccer’s best hope yet of finally winning the CONCACAF Champions League.
The defending MLS champions got past fellow MLS side Colorado in the CCL round of 16 before impressively dispatching Liga MX champion Tigres in the quarterfinal.
Now Greg Vanney’s men are 90 minutes from the final after taking care of Club America 3-1 in the semifinal first leg.
Reaching the final, though, is no foregone conclusion.
TFC has never played at the Estadio Azteca and the team’s first trip will present no shortage of challenges.
Major League Soccer did give TFC a break last weekend, ensuring Vanney’s side had a full week off between the first and second legs.
Club America had no such luxury and it ended up costing the Aguilas. Key midfielder Cecilio Domínguez will miss the second leg after suffering a hamstring injury in Saturday’s league match against Necaxa.
Dominguez’s absence, along with that of Jeremy Menez, will be tough to overcome but America will hope a boisterous crowd at the Azteca will help propel them to a famous comeback.
