They would end the season in 8th place with a record of 6 victories, 4 draws and 8 defeats. [1][2]
Golden Years of Deportivo Cali
Between the time frame of 1965 - 1980 can be referred to as Deportivo Cali's golden age era. During this time, Deportivo Cali won 5 of their 8 Colombian championships in the Copa Mustang. Colombia (kəˈlʌmbɪə officially the Republic of Colombia () is a country in northwestern South America. Colombian Professional Football ( Fútbol Profesional Colombiano in Spanish) also known as Mustang Cup ( Copa Mustang) for sponsorship reasons Not only that, but Deportivo Cali achieved to get to 11 finals, including their 5 championship titles. During this time, Deportivo Cali, and America de Cali were the top two teams from both the city of Santiago de Cali, and the national league of Colombia.

During the 1980's. Deportivo Cali began to fall behind, losing key players, and not finding replacements. The only time Cali would ever see such a successful era in the future, would be on the year 1998-1999 when Deportivo Cali won both, the Copa Mustang in 1998 to qualify for the next 1999 edition of the Copa Toyota Libertadores, which they got to the final of, but unfortunately they lost to Palmeiras of Brazil by penalties, 4-3, over a 2-2 aggregate score.

This team included: Jose Rosendo Toledo, "El Moño" Muñoz, Miguel Escobar, Oscar Lopez, Mario Sanclemente, German "El Burrito" Gonzalez, Jose Yudica, Miguel Angel "El Mago" Loayza, Jairo "El Maestrico" Arboleda, Oscar Mario "Tranvia" Desiderio, Diego Edison Umaña, Henry "La Mosca" Caicedo, Iroldo Rodriguez de Oliveira, Jorge Ramirez Gallego, Roberto Alvarez, Quarentinha, Bernardo "El Cunda" Valencia, and Ricardo Pegnoty. Unfortunately, most of these players didn't receive international fame, yet Jairo Arboleda could have been one of the best players Colombia has had in midfield along with Carlos Valderrama. Similar to Valderrama, Arboleda used a variety of skill and "magic" that left opponents lost and beaten, which gave rise to his nickname "El Maestrico". He is mostly recognized in Cali as one of Colombia's best players ever. This is true in most parts of Colombia except for Antioquia, where their pride dominates and mislead people to believe the best players come from Antioquia, especially Medellin. Jairo Arboleda was unfortunate to be called to the Colombian National team at a time when the team was not fully developed and organized, fading away his skill at an international level. However, the truth will always be known in Cali, and the Caleños feel like they don't need to let the whole world know about their players, even if they are the best.
