The prestigious Ylvisaker Cup, third tournament of the 2020 18-goal season at International Polo Club Palm Beach, continued in Wellington, United States, on Sunday. The qualification stage came to an end with victories for Patagones and Stable Door Polo. The results mean that both teams have secured a place in the tournament semifinals, alongside La Indiana and Coca-Cola.
