In the opening minutes of the third period Samuel Rácz scored an even strength goal to pull Nitra even at 1-1. Not much later Nitra took their first lead of the game by the way of Karol Korím. Ferencváros managed to kill their first penalty of the period, but less than a minute later they had a player back in the penalty box. Matus Rais scored a power play goal with Lane Scheidl picking up the assist, this put Nitra up by two. Late in the game Ferencváros made it a one goal game as Farkas set up Dezső Roczanov for the score. In the closing minutes of the game FTC pulled Arany for the extra attacker, but they were not able to tie the game up.
