La Dolfina and
Chapa I confronted each other having these totally different playing schemes: the former a closed strategy and a Cambiaso dependancy, the latter an open team play. Yet in the grounds it was different. In the first three chukkers Chapa I dominated the situation and La Dolfina had to put up with it. In the next one the latter, in other words the winner, brought out all its potential ending 11-7 and from then onwards combined two schemes to defeat Chapa I. The first tactic was its STAR dependence and the second one a speedy group play which allowed them to advance in the scoreboard dominating the match leaving Chapa I far behind, rather lost, making too many mistakes.
In the last moments being La Dolfina sure winners, it lost its agile rhythm and the opponents did a good play ending 18-15 in the scoreboard, slight difference which was not a real one taking into account the development of the whole match.
Mariano Aguerre (3), fast and intelligent was La Dolfina's best player.
