Kazak ran out the champions of the 11th. edition of the Thai Polo Cup, following their 9.8 8 victory over Power Infraestructure. The final took place on Saturday November 30, and it is worth to notice that Kazak played the tournament for the first time, while Power Infraestructure were the winners of the first edition.

Sébastien Aguettant’s French lineup were awarded 0,5 goal on handicap. But they would lose that advantage, due to an early goal by Power Infraestructure’s quick goal produced by Rosendo Torreguitar. However, and led by Rufino Laulhé, Kazak bounced back; but in the third chukka Power Infraestructure re-took the lead, only for a while.

Kazak managed to make a comeback in the second half, and at the end of the day, they secured the 9.5.8 win that earned them the title for the first time.
