Having survived a scare, Club América set up a Semifinals clash with rivals Pumas UNAM after beating the Toluca 3-2 on Sunday. A chaotic game at the Estadio Azteca saw Las Águilas win 5-4 on aggregate.
An early goal from Roger Martinez put the hosts in front before Bruno Valdez gave Miguel Herrera’s side a 2-0 lead in the 23rd minute.
Given the way both teams were playing, it looked like América was going to take Toluca completely apart, and things went from bad to worse for the Diablos Rojos when Rodrigo Salinas was sent off with a red card early in the second half.
