However, La Irenita refused to concede defeat, mounting a spectacular resurgence in the sixth chukka. With three consecutive goals, they narrowed the gap to a single point at 15-14, setting the stage for a nail-biting finish.In the closing moments of the game, amidst frantic action and heart-stopping plays, Park Place's Ulloa seized a crucial opportunity, breaking away from the pack to score a decisive goal, securing a 16-14 victory for his team.
