The club would qualify to the play-off again in the 1988–89 tournament. This time a short tournament play-off round was played with clubs Cruz Azul, Pumas de la UNAM and Atlante, the club would finish 1 point behind Cruz Azul who would go on to final against Club América. The following year the club finished 19th overall and worst was to come when the club was bought out by Atletas Campesinos and moved to Querétaro and so came an end to the 1980s.
