UAE make history in Challenge Cup
The United Arab Emirates have claimed a historic win at the Challenge Cup in what was the consolation final of the FEI Nations Cup in Barcelona.
With just three penalties, the United Arab Emirates lifted the trophy ahead of some prestigious line-ups such as Great Britain, Brazil and Ireland.
And it was the Irish who took second spot while Brazil finished in third place. It was a disappointing day for Italy meanwhile who finished up in last place with 12 penalties.
