The match was intense from the first chukka. Both teams traded attacks and showcased their skill in controlling the horses while executing strategic plays.
Led by team captain Novel Alva Momongan, the Indonesian National Polo Team played with confidence and sealed the game with an 8–5 victory, making this a valuable momentum builder ahead of their official matches in the SEA Games.
