The #maserati Bronze Cup Final took place yesterday and saw Dubai #polo Team winning over Lechuza Caracas by 11 to 7. The #maserati Bronze Cup is the first of three high handicap trophies to be awarded during the 45th International #polo Tournament in Sotogrande, held at the iconic Santa Maria #polo Club, of which #maserati is the Official Car.

Dubai #polo Team’s patron Rashid Albwardy, together with Santiago Stirling, Alejo Taranco and Adolfo Cambiaso, the best #polo player in the world, dominated the match from start to finish, achieving a well-deserved victory over Lechuza Caracas, the team owned by Venezuelan entrepreneur Victor Vargas.

Adolfo Cambiaso, with six goals, was the top scorer and best player of the match, while Julian Lusarreta was the opposing team’s best player - with five goals.

Uruguayan Santiago Stirling of Dubai #polo Team, said after the game: "Fortunately we were able to play good #polo and win. No doubt there are still things to fix, but today we are really proud of ourselves, and we will do our best to maintain and further improve our level of play over the remainder of the tournament."

The 45th International #polo Tournament in Sotogrande is the third Grand Slam #polo #event of the year: the high competitive value that distinguishes it, attracts the best players and the best teams in the world.
