TORREON, Mexico (AP) -Herculez Gomez scored twice in the first half and Juan Pablo Rodriguez had a pair of second-half penalties to give Santos Laguna a 6-2 victory over Toronto FC on Wednesday and ensure an all-Mexican CONCACAF champions league final for the third time in four years.

Santos, which extended its unbeaten streak to seven games overall, prevailed 7-3 on aggregate and will play either Monterrey or Pumas UNAM in the final April 17 and April 24.

Toronto twice took lead on goals by Joao Plata, but Santos equalized on Gomez's fifth and sixth of the tournament before halftime.

Julian De Guzman tripped Christian Suarez in the penalty area, and Rodriguez converted the ensuing penalty in the 56th minute. His second penalty came in the 64th minute.
