The high goal season in Pakistan came to an end with the final of the 62nd. Bank Alfalah National Open Polo, in Lahore Polo Club in  Pakistan. The final was played on Sunday March 16, and DS Polo, a lineup that had a very good season, ran out the champions.

 

DS Polo went head-to-head against FG Polo (winners of the last President of Pakistan Cup) in the culminating game, which had a very tight first chukka; however, and under the command of their captain, Raúl Laplacette, FG Polo managed to take the lead, which  maintained until the fourgh chukka. But in the last chukka, DS Polo bounced back and at the end of the day, they claimed the 7-6 win and the title.
