    Summary: We give upper bounds for triples of subsets of a finite group such that the triples of elements that multiply to \(1\) form a perfect matching. Our bounds are the first to give exponential savings in powers of an arbitrary finite group. Previously, \textit{J. Blasiak} et al. [Discrete Anal. 2017, Paper No. 3, 27 p. (2017; Zbl 1405.65058)] gave similar bounds in abelian groups of bounded exponent, and \textit{F. Petrov} [``Combinatorial results implied by many zero divisors in a group ring'', Preprint, \url{arXiv:1606.03256}] gave exponential bounds in certain \(p\)-groups.
