In the third part, he adjusted to the final 3: 1 in a power play by Brant Harris. Nitrania did not even reach the final pressure, in the 56th minute their effort was thwarted by the defender Martin Vitaloš, who fouled William Rapuzzi’s knee and received a penalty of 5 min + DKZ. The Slavs no longer moved anywhere in the power play and guarded the victory. The guests also withdrew the goalkeeper in weakness, but they did not invent anything in the end. At the post-match press conference, Nitra’s assistant coach Dušan Milo commented on the action of Vitaloš. “I don’t think it was intentional. He went against the body, the opponent deftly dodged it, he didn’t have time to dodge. Unfortunately, he got five minutes plus DKZ, there was nothing he could do about it.”
