Story by Alex Webbe Photography by Alex Pacheco
Six-and-a-half chukkers of all-out polo were punctuated by a penalty call that sent Alegria’s Hilario Ulloa to the 40-yard penalty line where he converted the shot for an 11- 10 overtime win over Valiente, Bob Jornayvaz, Santi Torres, Sapo Caset and Juan Martin Nero.
Alegria, Julian Mannix, Hilario Ulloa, Mariano Aguerre and Clemente Zavaleta scored first on a shot from the field for the 1-0 lead just 35 seconds into the opening chukker.
