Score Table Scone vs Thai Polo NP

A quick start from Scone Polo was led by the efforts of Poroto Cambiaso, who scored the first two goals of the game, but seven combined fouls slowed the pace and allowed Thai Polo NP to provide a response. Juan Martin Zavaleta added a goal from the field, but two missed penalty attempts for Thai Polo NP left Scone Polo ahead by one.  An impressive start to the second chukka for Scone Polo quickly resulted in a 5-1 lead on the scoreboard with one goal each from Adolfo Cambiaso, Poroto Cambiaso and Isidro Strada. However, Thai Polo NP showed some resilience with Gonzalito Pieres contributing a goal and an assist before the chukka ended to keep his team within reach. Trading goals in the third chukka, Scone Polo maintained their two-goal lead at 6-4 entering halftime. 

Goals from the field proved difficult to come by to begin the second half as both defenses stood strong and made their opponents work for an opportunity at goal. The result was additional penalty attempts on both sides but the difference on the scoreboard remained at two after Adolfo Cambiaso and Zavaleta exchanged penalty conversions. Desperate to close the gap, Thai Polo NP’s Pieres struck first in the fifth chukka, bringing the deficit to just one, but Scone Polo responded with the final two goals of the chukka to thwart the comeback attempt. Shooting at goal every chance they could, Thai Polo NP were only able to convert one of their five shots in the sixth chukka, leading to 10-7 victory in favour of Scone Polo.
