Gaining momentum on forward attack was the winning
strategy of Cria Yatay
Meanwhile, the second match played on Cancha 1 between Alegría vs. La Dolfina Polo Ranch
was not only exciting but very fast-paced. The match began with acutely vigorous play in
which Alegria quickly scored a 5-0 lead towards the end of the second chukker. Not to be so
easily defeated, La Dolfina Polo Ranch upped their game, scoring goal after goal in a well
concerted effort to close the scoring gap. Was this strategy enough to win over Alegria?
Unfortunately it wasn’t, as Alegria would go on to win this key match that would secure their
top position so early in the tournament. The final score of this match: 17-12.
