In the 65th minute, Stefan Mugoša responded to Werder forward Miljot Rašić's goal, and a decimated, soccer-pathosed Montenegro drew a point against Kosovo (1:1) - at least so that the picture after a dramatic day does not remain so gloomy and sad.

Few, however, cared about football, after all the events that put the game with Kosovo on the back burner.

Coach Ljubiša Tumbaković and two Red Star footballers, Mirko Ivanić and Filip Stojković, did not participate in the match with Kosovo due to pressure from Belgrade, and their further mission with the "falcons" is certainly over.

The national team of Montenegro - or what was left of it, with Miodrag Džudović on the bench, snatched a point in a confused match, played without the presence of an audience.

Montenegro could have conceded another goal in the first half and at the beginning of the second, and in the end they could have turned things around...

The rest is 1:1.

In three days, on Monday, Montenegro will visit the Czech Republic, which in the second match of the 3rd round of Group A beat Bulgaria in Prague with 2:1.

Kosovo visits Bulgaria in Sofia.

Whistle
The referee's whistle for the end of the first half by the Italian referee Daniele Orsato came as a salvation for the greatly weakened Montenegrin selection, which is playing poorly. Kosovo leads 1:0, the visitors had two more good chances, but goalkeeper Mijatović saved our team. Sad scenes under Gorica, after the complete extreme-nationalist scandal, which covered football, resulted in the departure of coach Ljubiša Tumbaković and footballers Mirko Ivanić and Filip Stojković, the severely shaken "falcons" are not even on the field, in front of the empty stands of the stadium under Gorica.

The stadium under Gorica is eerily empty - a strange atmosphere prevails before the start of the match Montenegro - Kosovo, which is being played without the presence of an audience due to a UEFA penalty

The representatives of Montenegro and Kosovo are warming up before the start of the match.
The composition of Kosovo is also known - Murić in goal, Vojvoda, Rahmani, Aljiti and Paćarada in the last line, Haljimi, Voca as the two last midfielders, Zenelji, Celjina and Rašić behind the striker, and Murić as the most advanced attacker.
Today brought a lot of drama - politics won football, but the ball will start from the center.
Montenegro is without coach Ljubiša Tumbaković, who due to great pressure from Belgrade will not lead the national team against Kosovo, nor will he in the future, and there are no Red Star players, Mirko Ivanić and Filip Stojković.
Can such a Montenegrin national team - already weakened without the best players Savić, Jovetić and Vukčević, and above all without the coach and two other important footballers - accomplish a feat and defeat Kosovo in front of the empty stands of the stadium near Gorica?
The composition of our national team is known, which tonight will be led from the bench by Tumbaković's assistants, Miodrag Džudović and Dragoje Leković.
After Mirko Ivanić and Filip Stojković, after tremendous pressure from Belgrade, refused to play against Kosovo, a few surprises in the starting line-up.
Zeta stopper Igor Vujacic will make his debut, Žarko Tomašević will play at left back, although he is out of competitive rhythm.
In goal is Milan Mijatović, who got an advantage over Danijel Petković, Marušić, Simić, Vujačić and Tomašević are in the last line, Šćekić and Kosović as the two back midfielders, Janković and Vešović on the wings, and Mugoša and Bećiraj as forwards.
