Chivas was already qualified for the playoffs of the tournament and was also playing in Copa Libertadores, so the team started the World Cup tournament with young players for the Clausura 2006 playoffs and the more experienced for the Libertadores. Patlan was one of the most praised players by the media.
In Apertura 2006, he became champion of the Primera División de México with Chivas, and he started to be a more consistent back-up Defender for the Rojiblancos.
