Sebastian Giovinco is a set-piece God.
The Toronto FC icon put his team's fate in his own feet, striking an inch-perfect free-kick in the 73rd minute of play to give his team a 2-1 lead over Tigres UANL in the second leg of this CONCACAF Champions League matchup - as well as a second away goal, and a 4-2 aggregate lead.
The Atomic Ant gave his team renewed hope, which came in handy as Tigres pulled one back in the 84th minute to bring the aggregate score to 4-3 in Toronto FC's favour.
And the goal ultimately proved the difference between the two teams as Andre-Pierre Gignac scored a 91st-minute penalty to bring the aggregate score level at 4-4 - thus making Giovinco's away goal the determining factor for Toronto FC to advance into the CONCACAF Champions League semi-finals.
