On 21 September, Peña assisted his side in a 3–0 win over Maltese side Sliema Wanderers with a solo goal where he ran the full length of the pitch and performed a Zidane-turn followed by a nutmeg on two remaining defenders before slotting the ball into the bottom right corner.[4]

He made his league debut for the club on 6 January, coming on as a 71st minute substitute for Denni in a 1–0 victory over Senglea Athletic.[5] He had to wait ten months for his first goal, scoring late in a 4–1 league victory over Balzan.[6]
