It was precisely in that duel between Municipal and Cobán Imperial at the El Trébol stadium on March 28 that Matías Rotondi scored his seventh goal in the championship and tied Casas at the top of the top scorers.
Their goals are shared against Guastatoya (two), Antigua GFC (two), Achuapa, Mixco and Cobán.
Outside of the two of them, Nicolás Mazzola and Tomás Pizarro, both from Xinabajul, have 5 goals each.
