Mexican Second Division – a mystery back then, a mystery now. According to the rules – one promotion. Of course, buying a first division franchise was the other way. Who played in the second level? Frequent changes make it not that tough to find, but rather meaningless.
Santos Laguna may be – a club more familiar to non-mexicans today, not so in the 1980s.
Irapuato was likely member – a club frequently moving up and down.
But all boils down to one thing: the championship final, deciding the league champion, getting promotion. Jalisco and Zacatepec reached the final. Jalisco lost 0-2 in the first leg and managed only 1-1 tie at home in Guadalajara.
So, Jalisco was unable to return to top flight.
Quite confident victory for Zacatepec and they joined First Division again. Well done.
