The opening game between Araucaria Polo Club and Evviva Polo Club St. Moritz witnesses a narrow victory from the Argentinian team by 8 ½ – 8 goals.
The Swiss team came out very strong in the first part of the game ending the chukker 2 in front of the score 6-1/2. But from the third chukker, there was a complete turnaround, and Araucaria Polo Club worked very well. Just 40 seconds before the end of the last chukker, Salvador Jauretche scored a goal that gave the win to the Argentinian team by just ½ goal.
Polo Club Schockemöhle won the day's second game by 11-6 to Aquedotto Romano Polo Club.
The German team came into the beginning of the game with a light start and took them two chukkers to find their rhythm. Instead, Aquedotto Romano Polo Club dominated the game until more or less the second half of the game, but Polo Club Schockemöhle came back very strong, with a great run of 8 goals in a row. Tomás Pieres led and dragged his team to their second win, with Vanessa Schockemöhle scoring the last goal for her team.
A very close and tight game between Amadeus Polo Club and Roma Polo Club, where the Argentinian team beat the Italian team by 8 – 6 ½ goals.
In the first chukker, Amadeus Polo Club took the lead, but in the second chukker, it was the turn of Roma Polo Club to play stronger. But it wasn’t until the second half when Amadeus Polo Club won the game leading by 2 to 1 in the third and fourth chukkers.
The closing game of the day ended with the victory of Polo Club Saint-Tropez against El Rincón Polo José Ignacio by 10-4 goals.
The first half of the match ended with two goal-lead for the French team, and an impressive Lorenzo Chavanne, who scored four goals in the last chukker, gave a clear win to Polo Club Saint-Tropez.
