On Friday 11/25, date 9 (last of Zone A) of the 129th HSBC Argentine Polo Open began. On field 2, La Hache Perpool, a team from the qualifiers, achieved its first win in the tournament after defeating La Irenita Gsquared by 13-11. In addition to winning the Copa Río Uruguay Seguros that was at stake, it achieved 300 units for the 2022 Ranking, facing the 2023 Triple Crown. Meanwhile, the third team of the Mac Donough organization ended the season without units and was eliminated from next season's TC.
Great game from La Hache, who controlled the game times from the beginning, took a great advantage in the first half and achieved a key victory for his future aspirations. With this victory, at least he made sure to play the Repechage against the winner of the Chamber of Deputies Cup to try to get his place in the Triple Crown 2023. On the other hand, La Irenita G2 did not achieve the objective and said goodbye to the tournament with four defeats in same number of presentations.
Then, from 5:00 p.m. on court 1, a great “semifinal” will be played between two teams that are undefeated in the tournament: La Natividad , defending champion of the contest, which will have the return of the South African Ignatius du Plessis, vs. The Irenita Grand Champions. Whoever wins will not only be left with the pass to the grand final of the tournament, but also with the Volkswagen Cup.

La Hache Perpool: Juan Ruiz Guiñazú (h) 8 (2 goals), Carlos M. Ulloa 6 (4), Santiago Cernadas 7 and Joaquín Pittaluga 7 (7, five penalties). Overall: 28.
