POLO EXCLUSIVE 2017 EDITION 124th Polo Open | Page 21

The matches played on Sunday, November 19th were equally fierce. Firstly came the turn of
La Dolfina Polo Ranch vs. Chapaleufú. From the start, it was evident that both teams had
decided on a defensive style of game, particularly midfield; thus whenever one of the teams
would break away, it was always a great possibility to annotate a goal. However, it was also
evident that Chapaleufú toiled with finding their pace on offense; despite this being a very
close match. Ultimately, Chapa paid the price: La Dolfina Polo Ranch won 12-10.

The second match, played on Cancha 1 was played in a very "energetic" fashion, as many
fouls were committed by both teams but mostly by Ellerstina, who made 9 out of the 11 total
fouls of the match. Ultimately, Ellerstina played offensively well as it did defensively; defeating
Cría Yatay 14-6. This end result meant facing Alegria in the semifinals.
