Facundo Sola- Dos Lunas A & G Banca Privada
“We were very lucky, the truth is that with only 4 minutes to go we were losing by four goals and I saw it very complicated. But made a click and started a great comeback that put us again in the match. In the first chukker Pascual Sainz of Vicuña left injured the field and Martín Iturraspe replaced him. We changed of player and also of system but luckily it went well and we won a game that put us back in the fight to qualify to semifinals”.
