SEATTLE (AP) \u2014 UANL Tigres lost the match but won their series on away goals Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Albert Rusnak scored twice and the Seattle Sounders had a 3-1 victory over the Tigres, but the Tigres advanced to the CONCACAF Champions Cup semifinals.<\/p>\n
Rusnak put the home team ahead in the 11th minute and added a goal in the 82nd minute, while Danny Musovski scored in the 49th. Joaquim Pereira scored in the 31st minute for Tigres, who won the first leg 2-0.<\/p>\n

Paulinho leads Toluca<\/p>\n
Portuguese striker Joao Dias Fernandes Paulinho scored two goals in a six-minute span in the second half as Toluca FC cruised to a 3-0 victory Wednesday over LA Galaxy to advance to the semifinals.<\/p>\n
Jesus Gallardo opened the scoring in the 10th minute and Paulinho followed with goals in the 58th and 64th minutes.<\/p>\n
Toluca, which won back-to-back titles in Mexico, advanced to the semifinals for the sixth time and will play LAFC.<\/p>\n
The 33-year-old Paulinho, who recently was called up to play for Portugal in friendly matches against Mexico and the United States, scored five goals in the series which finished 7-2 on aggregate.<\/p>\n
