GREAT POLO MEANS MUCH ANTICIPATED SEMIFINALS
In the first semi-final of the 124th Argentine Open played on Cancha 2, the teams of Zone A measured against each other. La Albertina played one of their best games of the championship, considering their bumpy road to reach the semis.
The scoring board opened with three goals by La Irenita while La Albertina remained scoreless during this first chukker. A short-lived advantage for La Irenita, as La Albertina quickly regrouped to score five goals in the second chukker; and what was even more astounding, three of them in just a minute and half!!!
Overall it was a very competitive match in which La Albertina prevailed due to their consistency of play and their palpable desire to win it. La Albertina displayed a strong defense throughout, thwarting La Irenita ' s attempts to keep possession on attack; a strategy on behalf of La Albertina which paid off. Victory for La Albertina 20-11 and a well-deserved ticket to the 2018 Argentine Triple Crown!
