On August 19th, at the Cuauhtampampeacutemoc baseball field, they held their first match defeating San Sebastian of Leon 1 to 0. In the beginning, the club did not have a nickname and fans called them different names. The names that stuck were La Pandilla The Gang and Rayados Striped. From the former was created the team mascot, El Pandy.ampampampquot The club did not enjoy much success its first decade but in 1956 they once again defeated San Sebastian of Leon with a decisive goal by Moro Juampampaacuterez for the title and their first ascent to First Division. On September 8th, 1991, the albiazul white and blue organization and their followers saw crystallized a dream that had heretofore only been a glimmer Monterrey as Cup Champions after defeating the Cobras of Ciudad Juarez 4 to 2 inside a Tecnologico Stadium filled to capacity.
