The guest Tomáš Török reduced the lead to 4: 7 just 33 seconds before the end of the basic playing time and everything indicated that it would be the last important moment of the duel. But it didn’t work …
At a time when Michalovce was at least symbolically rejoicing in the fourth hit, the 24-year-old Slovak defender of the home team, Patrik Maier, and the nine-year-old Canadian quarterback Mark Louis opposed each other.
They both dropped their gloves and prepared for battle, but it ended after a few seconds. Also because of one of the line judges, who unfortunately got between the two cocks at that moment.
Louis pushed him away slightly, but Maier probably didn’t have time to prepare for a possible blow from the opponent due to the referee. He immediately came and the Slovak, who had worn the Liberec jersey for two seasons in the past, ordered himself to the ice after a blow to the chin, on which he remained motionless.
“The referee got involved when he wasn’t supposed to be there. Very unnecessary injury due to his mistake, “commented Slavic forward Branislav Rapáč on his Twitter, who previously played the Czech extra league for Pardubice.

For Maier, medics with stretchers had to come to the ice. He was conscious and communicating as he headed for them inside the stadium. But he held on to the head from which he was bleeding.
“I do not want to comment on the end of the match. But someone made a big mistake there. Maier doesn’t remember anything. He is in the hospital, “said Rudolf Jendek, Slovan’s assistant coach, immediately after the match.
