Perhaps, the Terralpa Silver Cup, the second leg 53th. International Polo Tournament Andalucía, hosted by Ayala Polo Club, in Sotogrande, Spain, is the best tournament of the season up-to-date. Slowly, the competition is unveling the teams who will play the high goal Terralpa Silver Cup.
ATL Marine and Energy and Calatagan played the sole high goal match on Wednesday August 7, a very crucial match, because the winner would earn a spot in semifinals. ATL Marine and Energy, led by Barto Castagnola remained in the lead during the first half, widening their advantage to four goals. Following half time, Calatagan, under the command of Facundo Pieres, bounced back and managed to tie.

This result allowed MB Polo to qualify to semis, and will clash against ATL Marine and Energy on Saturday to decide first and second places.
