Spirited Master Paints overcame high-flying Army team by 5-4 in the nail-biting main final to clinch the Hamdan Housing Polo Cup here at the jam-packed Lahore Polo Club (LPC) ground on Sunday.
Ahmed Ali Tiwana was phenomenal with both mallot and horse and displayed one of the finest polo performances of his career as he slammed tremendous three goals to guide Master Paints to title victory. He was ably assisted by Sufi M Haris and Andres Crispo who struck one goal apiece. Army too gave tough time to the winning side and fought till the end, but they failed to score victory. Manuel Toccalino was their top scorer who scored a brace while Major General Isfandyar Pataudi and Ahmed Zubair Butt hit one goal each from the losing side.
The high-voltage 12-goal final commenced with a classic 30-yarder from Manuel Toccalino which gave Army 1-0 edge over Master Paints. The winning side then bounced back in style and slammed an equaliser through Andres Crispo. The score at the end of the first chukker was 1-1 draw.
