The guests sat on the horse after a gross mistake by the locals. Ully played a penalty in his own blue line and Buncis was right after a short solo – 0: 1. One of the few chances of the people of Poprad in the first period was not used by Skokan, who prevailed the right moment to finish and pass, and the home team finally recombined the event.
In the second period, the sacks tore with the goals. First, after the 2-on-1 raid, the “chamois” equalized. Puck ended up in the net after rebounding from Mešár’s skate, so a video referee was called in Poprad – the goal was paid. However, the equilibrium state did not last long. In the 26th minute, Baláž escaped the home team and Nitra led again. Three minutes later, the guests were already two goals ahead. Krivošík entered the shooting list – 1: 3. The people of Poprad reduced it very quickly. Vandas drove into a great pass in front of the goal area and overcame the lying goalkeeper Nitry after a bluff. Shortly before the end of the second period, Arniel performed an individual action and at the end of it there was a 3: 3 tie. Again, the tie did not last long. Buček performed big maneuvers in the attacking period and scored a goal for the home team before the second break – 3: 4.
The people of Poprad evened for the third time in a row. At the beginning of the third period, they got into a numerous advantage, which after a few seconds of the game, the defender Drgoň converted into a goal – 4: 4. On the other hand, he shot Buček into the post of the Poprad goal after an inconspicuous action. The guests rejoiced at the goal in the 47th minute, when after a confusing situation in the Poprad goal area, he cleared the puck into the Mezei net. Shortly afterwards, the guest Raskob stamped the top of the goal. Buček – 4: 6 added a goal insurance in the 55th minute after Krivošík’s action. In the end, the home team tried it with a game without a goalkeeper, which, however, did not change the score.
