The battle between Cibao La Pampa and the UAE Polo Team has been the standout match of the tournament so far. Everyone’s money would have been on the hugely experienced UAE Polo team, winners of the Cartier Queen’s Cup in 2021, but Juan Pepa’s squad believed differently. They never let UAE pull away and went on to take the lead for the first time 11-10 in the fifth chukka. UAE went ahead once more but it now a battle of wills and a race against the clock. Lucas Monteverde Jnr levelled the scores (14-14) with a minute left of this match only for Cibao La Pampa’s Benjamin Panelo to fire through the winner with just seconds remaining. The stand-out player was Juan Pepa himself, firing through a hat-trick of goals.
