Nevertheless, Puch after completing the six-month loan spell in June, didn't any game during the year second half because due to after he initially returned to Al-Wasl, he was loaned back to Iquique but the team didn't registered him in time. However he officially re-joined in January 2013 after being trained that period with the team, reappearing in a 1–1 away draw with León for the Copa Libertadores first stage.
