On 8 May 2011, Bengtson scored his 13th goal of the Clausura Tournament in the first leg of the final against Olimpia.

Vida. He would go on to score two more goals in the second leg to solidify his title as the league's top scorer.
In the early part of 2012 Jerry suffered his worst goal drought in his career in Honduras, scoring only 2 goals in 18 games.
