CONCACAF Champions League Review: Valencia helps Tigres into quarter-finals

Enner Valencia helped Tigres UANL move into the CONCACAF Champions League quarter-finals, while Tijuana scraped through on Tuesday.

Valencia scored a brace to help Tigres – runners-up the past two years – to a 3-1 win over Herediano as they secured a 5-3 aggregate success.

Jairo Arrieta levelled for the visitors, but parity lasted just a minute before Valencia capitalised on poor defending. 

Ismael Sosa came off the bench to seal Tigres' win and spot in the last eight, where Toronto await.

Toronto drew 0-0 at home to the Colorado Rapids to complete a 2-0 aggregate win. 

Tijuana battled into the quarter-finals 2-1 on aggregate after being held to a 1-1 home draw by Motagua.

Jose Alberto Garcia's third-minute goal gave Tijuana the lead, but Walter Martinez equalised late on for Motagua, who were unable to find another goal.
