The weekend marked the end of the Terralpa Silver Cup, at Ayala Polo Club, in Sotogrande. The first championship match of the second leg of the 54th. International Polo Tournament was the medium goal, that saw the clash between Brunei and Electric Polo, on Los Pinos Grounds, on Friday August 15.

 

Electric Polo dominated the first half, reaching a commanding 7-2 lead by half time. However, the story would change from the fourth chukka onwards, when Brunei bounced back until they managed to tie at 8-all on the fifth chukka. Following a hard fought last chukka, and with less than two minutes in regulation time, Rosendo Torreguitar picked the ball and produced the winning goal, that allowed Brunei to claim their second Silver Cup, in Sotogrande – the first was in 2016, and the lineup also included Rosendo Torreguitar and Azemah Bokiah.
