By PoloLine & Alejandra Ocampos The second day of the Coupe d'Argent, that takes place at Deauville International Polo Club featured the debut of Blackstorm and Talandracas. Blackstorm opened the scores with a goal by Clemente Zavaleta Jr., but Talandracas answered quickly, with two consecutive goals by Facundo Sola, to take a 2-1 lead. A goal by Jean-Marc Tyberg sent the scores at 2-all at the start of the second chukker, and after the next play, Blackstorm took a 3-2 advantage, following a goal by Tito Ruiz Guiñazu. That didn't last much, though, as Facu Sola tied at 3-all. The third chukker belonged to Blackstorm, as they spread a wide offensive against Talandracas: all four members scored one goal apiece, without any answer from Talandracas, who could only scored once via Milo Fernández Araujo in the last seconds of play. As a result, Blackstorm was leading by a commanding 7-4. Blackstorm continued their dominance thoroghout the fourth chukker, but not as heavy as in the previous one: Zavaleta scored that chukker's single goal, leaving Talandracas scoreless, who made a comeback in the fifth chukker when they cut the margin to one goal, with goals courtesy of Facundo Sola and Milo Fernández Araujo. In the last minutes of regulation time, Talandracas fought hard to get a tie, but Blackstorm hit first: Jean-Marc Tyberg scored the last goal of the match, that secured his team the 9-7 win. Score Blackstorm: 1-2, 3-3, 7-4, 8-4, 9-7
