Minato didn't get stabbed. He finessed both, gave them a life lesson as a parting gift and then retreated. At best, the entire bout was Minato giving Ay a warning as to what would happen if the Cloud went after Kushina again.

As for this particular match-up though, EMS Madara wins with maybe medium to high difficulty. He has long-range jutsu with which he can yank Minato's special kunai out and prevent Minato from closing the gap. His chakra reserves enable him to maintain his Susanoo for long periods of time. Madara also seems to know how to fight speedsters like Minato as evident by him casually ridiculing Tobirama in the Fourth Ninja War, though his Sage sensing helped him a lot in that particular occasion. Minato does have some original tricks up his sleeve like Guiding Thunder with which he can warp Madara's defense away, but if we're going to be fair, we also have to factor Madara's Mangekyou abilities. Even though they never made an appearance in the series, they were most likely quite formidable as evidenced by the fact that he still managed to give Hashirama trouble even though the latter seemed to edge him out in almost every aspect.

The only version of Minato who could win this fight would be KCM Minato.
