Relegation playoff
Because the Mexican soccer federation determined the expansion of the league from 18 to 20 teams in two seasons, Atlante, the relegated team, was offered the possibility of playing a promotion of relegation against Veracruz, best team in the Primera División 'A' season table, Atlante was required to pay a bail of 5 million dollars for the celebration of the games, however, this was never paid. Atlante won the playoff.

Atlante won 4-1 on aggregate.
