The crowd started chanting, "Slater's a wanker" and jeered each time he touched the ball.
Slater, who scored two runaway tries, apologised to Skandalis on the field after the game.
"He had my leg after I passed the ball and I tried to break free and unfortunately I kicked him in the head," Slater said.
"He didn't take too kindly to that but I found him after the game and he was sweet.
"He's a good fellow and I wanted him to know it was an accident.
"It was one of those things that happen in a game. I don't think there will be any drama."
Skandalis said he had accepted Slater's apology.
"It's all over and finished," Skandalis said. "He apologised after the game on the field and I accepted it. I hope nothing more comes of it. I don't want him suspended. It happened in the heat of the moment.
"I don't mind leaving things like that on the field. It just stunned me."
Asked about the crowd reaction, Skandalis said: "They must have seen it. They stuck with me which was good.
"We got away with the win. That's enough for me."
