They're not just sitting around and waiting for the last day, and then being surprised. You can decide based on the save if you find Santa and take his password.

The match started 2 weeks ago, and they could have finished it any evening, even today. Santa has a lot of problems, so he didn't have time. Why not wait until the end of the group stage in this case, if the match is very interesting and there is a desire to finish it? You can always bring it to a decision, as well as to a technical result. It's more valuable to finish the match. That's what I was aiming for.

PS: but we will definitely finish the match. Just for fun.
