Summary
In summertime, club president Jose A. Garcia reinforced the squad with several players, including the arrival of Forward Hugo Sanchez[1] from Rayo Vallecano with a bigger salary than Real Madrid offered to him at his last contract (1991-92).[2] In Copa Mexico the team was early eliminated on first round by Acapulco after a penalty series.[3] In spite of a decent offensive line with Hugo Sanchez, Luis Miguel Salvador and playmaker Ruben Omar Romano (returned back to the club after playing in Veracruz one season), the defensive line was weak, shattering its options for a classification to the Playoffs finishing the campaign 2 points below Tiburones Rojos de Veracruz, which took the last available spot for the post-season.[4]
According to Ricardo Lavolpe, during the season, forward Hugo Sanchez compared the club to Rayo Vallecano in front of several team mates, and the manager replied to him: "You were relegated to Segunda Division in 1994, We won the League"[5]
