Things would starts to change in the second chukka when Egyptian Police outscored their contenders 4-0 to earn a 6-2 advantage. The third chukka ended 1-1, but the black jerseys remained in the lead, with a four goal advantage.

A thrilling last chukka would follow – Eduardo Menendez quickly scored to put Egyptian Police 8-3 up; but the white jerseys were not about to give up that easily. With only 30 seconds in regulation time, El Gouna bounced back and were only one goal behind, 7-8. But efforts didn’t pay off – luck was on Egyptian Police’s side who won the title.
