Mohammed Al Habtoor won “The battle of
brothers” after defeating Rashid´s team by 6 goals to 5
Habtoor Polo defeated
Mahra by 6 goals to 5 in their first match of the Dubai Polo Gold Cup Series
2013.
Despite leading the game
from the second chukka till the end, the Silver Cup champions had to work
really hard to win the match
Mahra Polo played their
best game of the season and fought till the end of the game.
No goals where scored in
the first chukka but in the second period Habtoor Polo quickly took the lead
with two goals from Guillermo Cuitino and one by Ezequiel Martínez. The
reaction of Mahra came in the last minutes with goals by Agustín Canale and
Fernando Bordieu.
It was in the third
chukka when Habtoor showed their best polo taking a three goal advantage, one
of them scored by Mohammed Al Habtoor in a great individual action, that seemed
to give them strengh for the last period.
But Mahra never gave up
and battled to keep a close distance in the scoreboard.
In the last chukka,
Ezequiel Martinez added a new goal for Habtoor and despite the continuing
effort of Mahra they close the match by winning 6 goals to 5.
The Gold Cup continues
next thursday with the match between Bin Drai and Zedan from 3 pm in the Dubai
Polo & Equestrian Club.
