Ojo Caliente defeated Adrenalina by a 7-4 score, and claimed the Open de Andalucía, the second leg of the Autumn Iberian Polo Tour, following the final that took place on Sunday November 23 at Ayala Polo Club, in Sotogrande, Spain. The tournament saw five teams up to 8 goals, in participation.
Ana Escobedo’s lineup earned a quick 1-0 lead in the first chukka that extended to 4-0 in the second, a gap that was most likely to be decisive, since these games are played at four chukkas. Ojo Caliente remained in the lead during the remaing of the game, until they were victorious 7-4.
