The second period saw both teams trade chances, with solid goaltending keeping the score tight. It wasn't until late in the period that Dundee managed to nose ahead, taking a 2-1 lead into the final frame. The Flyers, however, showed resilience in the third period, pushing hard for an equalizer. Their persistence paid off when they managed to tie the game at 2-2, forcing the contest into sudden-death overtime.
In the exhilarating overtime period, it was Fife's Neilson who emerged as the hero. With precision and composure, Neilson netted the decisive goal, sending the home crowd into raptures and securing a memorable victory for the Fife Flyers to cap off their season at home against their cross-Tayside rivals.
