Taking hold of the ball, Sahara Warriors made the initial moves but were equally defended by Sona Polo. Even after this, Matthew Perry attempted the first goal in favor of the team. This spirit was kept alive for the complete chukker where the team stroked two more goals having Vandit and Col Ravi Rathore in action respectively. The team altogether defended the opponent team from making any difference on the score board. Thus the score after the first chukker was 3-0.

Sona Polo feeling the pressure building on them, came back in form where Mazzini taking hold of the ball stroked the first goal for the team. Complimenting his this move, Padmanabh made another goal in favor of the team. The team was in full swing, so much so that they did not allow the other team make any goal. The goal after this chukker was 3-2.

By now, the game had become taut enough. Just like the last chukker, Sona Polo was in action not allowing Sahara Warriors to make any change on the scoreboard. The game had started to build pressure again, but this time for Sahara Warriors and the adverse effect of it could be witnessed as the game saw a penalty shot 30 in favor of Sona Polo. Taking the hold of the penalty, Mazzini stroked the goals bringing the team in lead. The scores now were 3-4.

Until now, the match was presented in tough ways, but with the opening of the third chukker the tables turned in favor of LA Pegasus Polo, where the team stroked three goals back to back. The games saw Dhruvpal striking the first goal. The following goal was too attempted by Dhruvpal but as he reached the goal post he lost the grip of the ball but Dhananjay came in just at the right moment and stroked the ball through the goal post. The following goal was yet again attempted by Dhruvpal. It is not wrong that people associated with Polo call him “our very own rockstar”. By now, Hyderabad Chaughan had lost the grip of the match, but not losing the hope, the team achieved a goal with Gaurav striking the ball in time. By the end of this chukker, the scores were 7-4.
