'slip fielder' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'public disagreement about finale to match' is the wordplay.
'public' becomes 'overt' (both can mean well-known or unconcealed).
'disagreement' becomes 'row' (row is a kind of disagreement).
'about' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'finale to' says to take the final letters.
The final letter of 'match' is 'h'.
'row' after 'h' is 'hrow'.
'overt'+'hrow'='OVERTHROW'

'makes' is the link.
