Featured in Puebla: Pablo González, power midfielder

Forward Federico Viñas (#18) stands out as the team's best forward. He is only 25 years old and comes from Uruguay. He is the local team's highest scorer, scoring 6 goals and 2 assists in 11 games played. The success of his team is largely due to the striker's great performance in this tournament and it is very likely that we will see him scoring on Saturday against Puebla.
