The fifth game in Zone A of the 128th Abierto Argentino de Polo was held at Palermo, with Ellerstina Johor capturing the decisive 22-7 victory over Alegria Fish Creek.
Capturing their second consecutive double-digit victory, Ellerstina Johor scored the first four goals of the match and did not allow Alegria Fish Creek to string together a run of goals to challenge them. Finishing with 10 goals on perfect 7 for 7 shooting from the penalty line, along with seven assists, Facundo Pieres was at his best, directing play and driving the Ellerstina Johor attack forward. With Alfredo Cappella, filling in for the injured Nico Pieres, effectively manning the back of the game, Ellerstina’s offense was relentless, receiving six goals each from Hilario Ulloa and Gonzalito Pieres in the impressive 22-7 victory. 
Setting a fast pace in the opening chukka, Ellerstina Johor raced ahead on field goals from Ulloa and Gonzalito Pieres, while Facundo Pieres added a Penalty 3 conversion. Immediately pressed into their defensive end, Alegria Fish Creek found themselves trailing 4-0, before a goal Joaquin Pittaluga gave them their first tally of the match. Led by Bautista Bayugar, Alegria Fish Creek attempted to fight back within reach in the second chukka, but inaccurate shooting kept them trailing by three as Bayugar’s penalty conversion was met by a goal from Gonzalito Pieres. Pushing Ellerstina Johor further ahead, Facundo Pieres took advantage of each opportunity to score all three goals in the third chukka, contributing from both the field and the penalty line to lead his team to a 9-3 lead at halftime.
Quickly adding to their lead, Ellerstina Johor controlled possession to score the opening two goals of the second half, but Alegria Fish Creek showed a spirited determination to challenge their higher-rated opponents. Two penalty conversions for Bayugar led into a tense sixth chukka that had one yellow card for Facundo Pieres and three technical awarded. The result went in favour of Ellerstina Johor as they began a stretch of nine unanswered goals with their offensive trio of Facundo Pieres, Gonzalito Pieres and Hilario Ulloa scoring with accuracy. Holding the double-digit advantage, Ellerstina Johor cruised to the 22-7 victory to remain undefeated.
