However , once the match started under the diaphanous blue sky of Buenos Aires , all eyes were set on the two teams . Who would take home the trophy ? It was hard to tell as fans of both teams packed each and every seat at the Cathedral of Polo , hoping it would be « their » team .
It was a very tough match as Ellerstina pressured La Dolfina time and time again during the first six chukkers ; but everything changed in the seventh chukker when La Dolfina finally got their mojo back to end up defeating Ellerstina 16-12 and win the 123rd Argentine Polo Open . With their fourth consecutive championship win and their tenth overall at the Cathedral of Polo , La Dolfina has managed to firmly assert itself as the best Polo team in the world ; and the rest as they say « is history ! »
