Home goalie Jaroslav Hylak left the goal and all HC Kosice players moved into the opponent's zone. Since they controlled the puck, the referee didn't interrupt the game. After Michal Seda's shot from the side, Marek Cilliak knocked out the puck to the middle zone where it bounce from the side cushion and ended up in the abandoned HC Kosice net. At the moment, thanks to the exclusive goal, Nitra equalized to 1:1. But even the goalie's goal didn't help them because at the end they lost the game 3:6.
