Monday, August 18, 2025 – After a weekend full of intensity and good polo, in which the Terralpa Silver Cup was defined in its 3 categories, the Gold Cup began this Monday, the culminating point of the 54th Sotogrande International Polo Tournament.
.
For the High Goal Handicap, two matches added color to the opening day, with several interesting aspects to highlight. On the one hand, in the match between Calatagan and Black Bears, whose most recent precedent was the victory of the Black Bears in the Terralpa Silver Cup, we had to wait until the extra chukker to know the winner.
There, and shortly after the start of the period, Alejandro Muzzio enabled Pablo “Polito” Pieres, who after a good individual maneuver decreed the fight in favor of the defending champion Calatagan.
At the same time, field number 2 of Los Pinos hosted the duel between Dos Lunas and MB Polo Team. MB Polo Team, semifinalist of the Silver Cup, fell to a team of Dos Lunas that had an inspired Martín Iturraspe, in place of the injured Pascual Sáinz de Vicuña, and that went from less to more to, first, turn around a match that was clearly in the power of the Brunei organization, and then, to set up a fundamental victory for an eventual qualification to the semifinals. On Tuesday, Zone 2 of the category will debut, with two matches.
