The club did not fare so well in their first year in the Primera División de México finishing tied dead last with Atlético Potosino and only avoided being relegated by a goal difference. Before the 1988–89 tournament, the club managed to keep its category after buying the Deportivo Neza franchise and taking over their vacant spot. The club would go on to play 7 years in the Primera División before been relegated in 1995, this time they did not buy any franchise to save their status and instead accepted their fate of playing in the newly created Liga de Ascenso de México.
