Spisska Nova Ves took it 3-1 at Dukla Trencin, and the margin came late: the visitors scored twice in the third after 40 minutes of a 1-1 game. It was settled in regulation, with no need for extra time.
Spisska opened the scoring in the first and led 1-0 after 20 minutes. Trencin answered with the only goal of the middle period to level it at 1-1, but the third belonged entirely to the visitors, who put up a 2-0 frame to close it out.
The number that defines the night is the period split: 0-1, 1-0, 0-2. Trencin got nothing past the visiting goaltender over the final 20 minutes, and Spisska's two-goal third was the difference.
