Andre-Pierre Gignac converted two penalty kicks to lead Tigres to a 3-0 victory over Honduran side CD Olimpia in their CONCACAF Champions League semifinal on Saturday night.

Gignac scored his first penalty kick in the fourth minute of first-half stoppage time and doubled Tigres' lead in the 57th minute when he scored from the same spot. Tigres put the game away when they received an own goal from CD Olimpia's Elvin Casildo in the 78th minute.

CD Olimpia had to play short-handed in the second half after Deybi Flores received a red card in first-half stoppage time.

Tigres had 16 shots, with 11 on target, compared to just two on target for CD Olimpia.

Major League Soccer's LAFC and Tigres will meet in the final of the CONCACAF Champions League on Tuesday in Orlando, Fla.
