The fourth day of the Gold Cup tournament delivered high-octane action at Al Habtoor Polo Club and Resort.
Today’s match saw Jehangiri Polo face off against Habtoor Polo in a fiercely contested encounter. Jehangiri set the tone early, applying relentless pressure and showcasing a disciplined defensive line that tested Habtoor Polo from the very first whistle.
Habtoor Polo began to find their rhythm in the second chukker, opening their account, but Jehangiri refused to yield. Regaining momentum in the third and fourth chukkers, they maintained their lead and began asserting authority on the field. Increasing the tempo and tightening their defence, Jehangiri controlled possession and dictated the pace of play. By the fifth chukker, the momentum had fully swung in their favour, as they surged ahead to build a decisive three-goal advantage.
Despite a late surge from Habtoor Polo, narrowing the gap to just one goal in the final chukker, Jehangiri held their ground to secure a commanding and well-earned victory. The result marks an impressive triumph over the Silver Cup 2026 champions on Day Four of the Gold Cup 2026 Qualifiers.
