The reigning champion was more effective in the first period and built a two-goal lead thanks to Martin Vitaloš and Tomáš Pobežal – the youngster gave himself a nice present for his 18th birthday, which he celebrated on Wednesday.
In the second half, the Nitras continued their activity and were able to use two power plays. In the 41st minute, Robert Jackson made it 5-0 for the guests.
