The Turkish Airlines Medium Goal Gold Cup finished of Friday August 30, with the final between Amanara and Electric Polo, that took place at Ayala Polo Club, in Sotogrande, Spain. The 53rd. International Polo Tournament will come to an end on Saturday August 31, following the high goal and low goal finals.
The medium goal championship match was held on ground four, in front of packed grandsstands. It was expected to be a leveled contest, but it was otherwise, because Amanara took over the two first chukkas, outscoring Electric Polo 7-0, which was crucial on their way to the title.
Although Electric Polo did their best to bounce back, Amanara, under the command of Santiago Chavanne, hold them back and overwhelmed their contenders, widening the gap chukka after chukka. At the end of the day, Nicky Sen and Co. claimed a outstanding win that earned them their first medium goal Gold Cup.
