Club (Athletico) Independiente wins aggregate 5-1 in a 1-1 draw in the Second Leg rematch of the 2019 CONCACAF Champions League, this eliminating Toronto FC in the Round of 16.
Even though the TFC tried valiantly -- injuries & a delpleted roster lacking scoring punch, plus the weather - overcoming the 4-0 First Leg defeat simply proved too much. (Toronto would have had to win 5-1 to win the aggregate).
Well, if Toronto had won 5-1, having lost 4-0 away, making the aggregate score 5-5 Independiente would have gone through on the away goals rule.
Toronto would have needed to win 6-1. Or 5-0. Or 7-2. By 5 clear goals.
You're correct on that count. They most likely would have had to win by a 5-0 or a 6-1 score, which seemed like such an impossible task.
