Club Deportivo Vista Hermosa, commonly known as Vista Hermosa, is a professional Salvadoran football club based in San Francisco Gotera, Morazán, El Salvador. The club plays in the Primera Division, which is the top tier league in El Salvador.

History

The club was founded on 17 April 1999 by Jose Gilberto Flores. Shortly after its establishment, Sr. Flores struggled financially, thus resulting the welcome of Francisco Benitez. With Benitez' help, the club gain prominence and professionalism, helping the club grow along the way. Since their foundation and up until 2009, the club played its home games at the Estadio Luis Amílcar Moreno. In 2009, after the newly built Estadio Correcaminos was fully constructed, they moved in and since then have called the stadium home.

In 2005, the club achieved its first major honor by winning the Salvadoran Primera División, the 2005 Apertura championship.

Club Deportivo Vista Hermosa is one of the revelations of the new century. 2005 proved to be perhaps their most successful year so far, by winning both championships, the Segunda División which got them promoted for the very first time and the Primera division Apertura 2005 championship. They created history as well becoming the youngest team to win both treble since 1974. The correcaminos were actually created to help remove youth from the gangs and the violence and drugs associated with them.

Until this remarkable period not many had heard a mention of this club, however they were able to overcome the obstacle of the big three of the Segunda División, which at the time were Chalatenago, Dragón and Independiente Nacional 1906. For the Apertura 2005, which was their very first tournament in the top flight, they were able to finish second place on the table with a record of 10 wins, 7 losses, and one draw. After defeating Luis Ángel Firpo in the semi-finals of the post-season, they were up against Isidro Metapán in the final, who had the best defence statistics in the whole tournament. Both sides had never achieved winning the title. However in the end, the Correcaminos won thanks to Mario Deras, who scored twice in extra time. Club Deportivo Vista Hermosa's main rival is Fuerte San Francisco, due to its close proximity and their fierce clashes to qualify to the Primera División. However, Vista Hermosa recently has been more dominant over their crosstown rivals having stayed in the first division ever since they firstly got promoted back in 2005. Despite several good campaigns including making the semi finals on several occasions and producing several players into the national team including Salvador Coreas, Leonel Guevara, Osael Romero . they never were neevr able to reclaim a second title. During the 2011 season, several issues plagued the club, including lack of funds, three members of the owner consortuim accused of drug trafficking and having their new stadium confiscated, making the team play in various other stadium. With those problems the onfield and off field performance deteriorated until the relegated in 2012 from the primera division after seven seasons. Further Bad results and financial difficulty resulted in the club almost being relegated, however a deal was done with club Nueva Guadalupe to merge both club forming C.D. Guadalupano which would be based in San Miguel and making both clubs defunct .

The Dream of a Final

In the end, neither Metapan nor the Vista Hermosa had never played a final in the Salvadoran football, in an unprecedented meeting by the highest national football crown. Favoritism was clearly on the side of the cement, which sported the best defense of the tournament (only 13 goals in 18 dates), with keeper Dago Portillo in great shape and very experienced players in the end, as former fasistas William Reyes, Guillermo Rivera and William Osorio. But the hunger for glory Runner was stronger. Behind the offensive activity of the terrible parejita Barroche-Mosquera was another pair of fear, Colombian Luis Chicho Elder Figueroa and Torres, who handcuffed any offensive attempt Jaguars. The match ended goalless in the first 90 official minutes and in overtime, when everything pointed to define the title on penalties, appeared a character that nobody would have thought as a figure: Mario Deras. Mr. Martinez took it out of the bank at 118 and he shot himself perfect, as Deras scored seconds after entering 121 and put the icing on the victory Runner, the first to the very short story of a neighborhood team was born in 2000 with the ideal of bringing to youth from drugs, violence and gangs.

The dream fulfilled

The celestial glory in 2005 was memorable for the Vista Hermosa, humble and noble San Francisco Gotera team. The same year the team was champion in the second division, won his first title in Major League Salvadoran. For Runner heart, a review of the historical crown.
