"But the fact remains, Kristjansen is unbeaten in 10 outings.
Correct.

"But the fact remains, Kristjansen is unbeaten in the 10 outings and three years since the (lone) setback to Zoff."

'the' would be incorrect in the first first sentence but not in the second. That's what Unregistered picked up on.

Is everyone clear just why this is so?
