Club America breezed its way into the CONCACAF Champions Cup semifinals on Tuesday with Alex Zendejas among five different players to find the back of the net for the hosts.
Zendejas scored the fourth goal for Club America in an eventual 5-2 second leg win over the New England Revolution. The American attacker logged 81 minutes in the match as Andre Jardine’s men advanced 9-2 on aggregate past their MLS opponents.
Zendejas’ right-footed shot slotted into the bottom-left corner in the 57th minute as Club America continued its onslaught. The 26-year-old created two offensive chances, won one duel, and completed 88% of his passes in the match.
Up next for Club America is a top-two Liga MX showdown with Toluca on Saturday.
Elsewhere, Alex Zendejas scored once in Club America’s dominant Champions Cup win. Josh Sargent scored in Norwich City’s draw with Sheffield Wednesday.

It was like Miami was like “giving away a gift goal worked for Columbus let’s see if it will spark us.” It did not.
