First title in the Liga Nacional de Guatemala

In the Clausura 2021, which was played without spectators due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the format changed, and they finished second in Group A, advancing to the quarterfinals, where they eliminated Cobán Imperial with a 4–1 aggregate score. In the semifinals, things were different, as they faced not Comunicaciones, but Guastatoya, the reigning champions, and defeated them 3–1 on aggregate. In the final, they did face the "Cremas," and in the first leg, they surprisingly won 4–0, giving them a significant advantage for the second leg. In the second leg, played on May 23, the white team was winning 5–0 in the 90th minute, and it was at that moment that they tied the aggregate score at 5–5. Two minutes later, they scored their second goal, making the final aggregate score 5–6, thus securing their first Liga Nacional title.
