During that season León won the Liga de Ascenso giving them the right to play the Promotional final against Correcaminos which they won by an aggregate score of 6-2 giving them the right to play on the Liga MX. Vázquez was bought by the team on May 2012 for León's first season in the first division in over 10 years.
