Despite losing coach Hernan Medford to the national team and a rocky stretch in mid-season, Saprissa tore through the playoffs and clinched the title last night with a 2-0 win over traditional rival Alajuela.

While Alajuela dominated early, they were unable to get the goal that they needed in order to get back into the series after a 2-0 defeat Wednesday in Tibas. Alonso Solís, “The Mariachi”, put in a goal in the 38th minute and after that Alajuela never seriously threatened. Solís also converted a penalty in the 72nd minute, to give himself 12 goals in the tourney and claim the title of “goleador” (leading scorer).
Jeaustin Campos had a great month in his first coaching position ever, he took over from national team coach Hernan Medford on November 12th.
