LAHORE: Raja Samiu­llah four-goal show helped Army defeat IS/SQ/Plati­num Homes on the second day of the Patron’s Aibak Polo Cup here at the Lah­ore Polo Club on Wednesday.

Army had a tough outing but Samiullah’s performance made the difference as they won 8-6½. Besides Sam­iullah, team-mates maj­or Asif and Shahid Imr­an contributed with two goals apiece.

Hamaz Mawaz Khan was the lone warrior for IS/SQ/Platinum Homes as he scored five goals.
