The equalizing goal for Badín sparked controversy, when in the 31st minute, with the score at 2–1 for Radôstka, Samuel Šipčiak stopped the Badín striker with a defensive intervention. The main referee first indicated that a corner kick would be taken. However, after a while he changed his decision and gave a penalty kick.[7][8] After the match a complaint was filed to the Referees' Commission, where they decided that the referee would be banned for 3 matches and would receive a penalty.[8]
