History

In 1928, Excélsior made its first appearance to the final, playing Hércules in Campo Marte. In the first match, they tied 1–1. A second match was played to determine a winner. In the replay match, they were defeated by Hércules, final score of 2–0.

The following year, they matched up again with two-time champion Hércules. In the first match, at the Finca Modelo, they beat Hércules 2–0. In the second leg, played at Campo Marte, Hércules edged out in a 3–1 win over. Excélsior withdrew from the third and deciding match due to complains about the officiating and extreme brutality from Hércules players. The Salvadoran Sports Commission ignored their appeal, so Excélsior forfeited as Hércules won their third straight national title.
