La Dolfina Saudi won against La Hache by a score of 12-11 in the Tortugas Open at Tortugas Country Club on Sunday 27th October.
This game defined the second finalist who will play against Elerstina in the final on Friday 1st November. Despite the win, La Dolfina Saudi do not advance to the final as due to La Ensenada Dietrich's win over La Hache Cria & Polo in the previous day's qualifying matches, they had to win by 2 goals to earn their spot.
With team leader Adolfo Cambiaso back in the saddle post injury, it looked like this would be the case as they led 12-10 with just 30 seconds to go, but a miraculous last minute goal by young ringer and Argentine Triple Crown first timer, Lorenzo Chavanne (in for Polito Pieres who was out due to illness), tipped the scales back in La Hache's favour after a dynamic match that was fast paced throughout. They may have lost the battle but they won the war as they take their place in Friday's final against Ellerstina UAE Yellow
