At the start of the fourth day (second through Zone B) of the 128th HSBC Argentine Polo Open, the rookie and recent finalist of the Hurlingham RUS Open, RS Murus Sanctus defeated convincingly 18-7 to Joy, in a match played on court 2 of the Alfredo Lalor de Pilar Headquarters.
In the first five chukkers, the big handicap difference between both teams, who played as equals, in a very even match. But from the sixth, it was uncovered Pablo Mac Donough, who played his best game of the season, to manage with a lot of brain the team of RS Murus Sanctus, who achieved a partial of 11-1 in the last three sets to stay with the first win at the Palermo Open.
For his part, in a very good undefeated duel, La Dolfina Brava beat 17-10 a Chapaleufú, a set that came from giving the great surprise by beating La Natividad, recent champion of the Hurlingham RUS Open. The winning set was as the sole leader in his area.
Those of Cañuelas they played better from start to finish, with a superb Cambiaso (n), scorer of the match with nine goals, very well accompanied by Terrera, who was very accurate against the wicked rivals. The team Pampean couldn’t keep up that he showed before La Natividad, but he continues to speak, since his two promises: Felipe You gave, of 18 years; and Rufino Bensadón, at 19 – the tournament’s top scorer, at 21 – they continue to play at a high level.
This is one of the best open in recent years, with seven newcomers who are playing as if they had enormous experience, and with the vast majority of matches that, a priori, they don’t have a clear favorite.
