Slovan's hockey players achieved their success in the fifth meeting after an exciting duel that brought tension and drama right up to the very end.

For Nitra, the situation represents a superhuman task. The team from Nitra gained hope after the dramatic finish, but a complicated situation lies ahead of it. Nitra's key forward Samuel Buček received a one-game disciplinary suspension for tripping in Friday's fourth duel and will miss the sixth game. Slovan achieved its success in the fifth meeting and currently finds itself just one step away from the Slovak championship title, but Nitra will not be able to afford another mistake and will have to concentrate all its will and experience on the upcoming sixth game. sport.sk ↗
