Ghantoot, with Facundo Sola scoring seven consecutive goals, played two excellent initial chukkas.
With a two goal difference in the first chukka and three in the second, Ghantoot controlled the game during
the half time. But the ten goaler David “Pelón” Stirling started to demonstrate all his talent and put Zedan back in the game in the second period.
The third chukka ended with a Ghantoot close gap leading (7-6) and in the last period Zedan managed to putthe scoreboard in 8 goals a piece with only one minute to go.
After several seconds of suspense, two consecutive goals by Facundo Sola, top scorer and MVP of the
match, led Ghantoot to a dramatic victory by 10 goals to 8.
