Their second chance in the premier division came 12 years later when they conquered the 1994 Honduran Segunda División. During the next three years they acquired big names to their rosters such as Reynaldo Pineda, Milton Reyes, Wilmer Cruz and Leonardo Isaula; however, they faced relegation again in 1997–98. [2] Due to economic problems and little support from their executives, the club was eventually dissolved. [3]
