Olympia defeated Guard Group/Dascon Construction by 7-6 to qualify for the Rafi Group Polo Cup 2017 main final here at the Lahore Polo Club (LPC) ground on Friday. Guard Group opened their account through Saqib Khan Khakwani to take lead but soon Olympia bounced back in style and thwarted two goals through Abdul Rehman Monnoo and Ahmed Ali Tiwana finish the first chukker having 2-1 lead. The second chukker saw in-form Taimur Ali Malik hammering a brace to once again take lead of 3-2.
Both the teams then kept on scoring goals and in the dying moments of the match, the score was tied at 6-6. It was anyone's match but Ahmed Tiwana timely made a marvellous move and pumped in a fabulous field goal to help his team qualify for the main final.
Lahore Polo Club president Irfan Ali Hyder, executive committee members Azam Hayat Noon and Agha Najeeb Raza, club members and families were present on the occasion to enjoy the enthralling encounters.
