However, the young Pumas delivered a decent season despite the low level of its offensive line but a talented midfield with good performances by Braulio Luna, Antonio Sancho, Rafael "Chiquis" Garcia (club topscorer) and playmaker Tiba getting a good streak without a lost match during almost the whole second half of the season. Although, the defensive line had a poor start after a massive 2-6 defeat at Estadio Morelos then goalkeeper Jorge Campos, Oteo, Suarez and newly arrived left back Miguel A. Carreon improved their campaign helping to finish in a 6th spot in league and reached the quarterfinals[5] against Cruz Azul being eliminated after two exciting matches with a last minute goal scored by right back defender Guadalupe Castañeda.[6]
