New York Red Bulls booked their spot in the CONCACAF Champions League quarter-finals after easing past Dominican outfit Atletico Pantoja 3-0.
Sean Davis, Daniel Royer and Andreas Ivan were on target for the Red Bulls, who won 5-0 on aggregate in the round of 16.
Semi-finalists last year, the Red Bulls took another step towards the final four thanks a two-goal first half on Wednesday.
Davis headed in the 27th-minute opener at Red Bull Arena before Royer converted a penalty five minutes later following a foul on defender Connor Lade.
