Goals at a premium
Independiente will be looking to build on last season’s showing. They finished on 27 points in Group B and were beaten on penalties by Sporting San Miguelito in the quarter-final of the play-offs after a goalless draw.A lack of goals is what separated them from winning the trophy. They scored just 19 goals in 16 league games, an average of 1.18 per game.
Costa del Este were another team who struggled to score goals. They scored 15 goals in 16 league games and were also beaten on penalties in the quarter-finals.
