Santi Trotz stole the show scoring 11 of the team’s 12 goals of the match helping Dark Horse/ Film Finance maintain the lead though the 6th chukker. Marcos Bignoli and Marcos Llamabias of Edelweiss pushed hard in the 4th chukker each scoring 2 goals in addition to a goal scored by Carol Lessine. Marcos Llambias was unable to finish the game after an injury in the 5th chukker and was replaced by Felipe Vercellino.

After three minutes of back and forth OT play, Santi Trotz tapped in a penalty 2 for the win.
