For three years, Bokelj has been waiting to return to the Telekom First Football League, is it time for Kotorans to become part of the elite again? After the first 90 minutes of the barrage and victory over OFK Titograd (1:0) away from home, it seems that the Slavoljub Bubanja team is well on its way to making a surprise.
Before today's rematch in Kotor (18.30:XNUMX p.m.), everyone in Bokelje knows they have a huge chance...
- We decided in our favor only in the first half, nothing is over. I think that OFK Titograd is still the favorite, that the result from the first game does not mean much, but I believe that with the game in Podgorica we showed that we have the quality for the First League - said Bokelja captain Miloš Stevović.
The duel at Stari aerodrome three days ago was settled by Srđan Bošković with a goal in the 18th minute.
- The club and the city deserve to watch first league football in Kotor. We will be stronger for Igor Poček in the second leg, but again we will not be complete. That doesn't change anything, we have to give everything to defend the victory from the first game and achieve great success - Stevović pointed out.
Novović: There is no more correction
OFK Titograd could become the biggest loser in Montenegrin football in the 2019/2020 season. The team that enters every season with ambitions to at least secure placement on the European stage is now afraid of a lower rank. And he hasn't been there since the 2009/2010 season. In the meantime, he was also the champion of Montenegro, and won the Cup twice...
- In the first match, Bokelj showed that it is a quality team and that it is well led from the bench. We have to be calm, there are still 90 minutes left in which everything can be made up. We will give everything to cancel the minus, and then we will give everything we have to preserve the first league status. Now there is no more correction, we have a crucial game ahead of us - the captain of OFK Titograd Ivan Novović is clear. In the second leg, Titograd cannot count on experienced defender Ermin Alić, who was sent off in the first match and was the culprit in the only goal of the match...
The lake goes all or nothing
A lot of excitement is also expected in Plav, where Jezero hosts Komu (18.30:1 p.m.). At Zlatica on Friday, the home team won 0:94 with a goal by Nedeljko Vlahović in the XNUMXth minute. The primary goal of the first league team is to save the net in the second leg, but...
- Jezero showed what we knew - that it is a good team, that it knows how to play for the result. Plavljani had several chances, and we scored a goal that somewhat made it easier for us to prepare for the second leg. However, it will be difficult, we must not think about the first game, we must play as if it was 0:0. I believe that we are better and that we will prove it - says Koma defender Miloš Radulović.
Jezero, on the other hand, can regret Božo Osmajlić's chance, but also because of carelessness in the finish in his own penalty area, which was paid dearly.
- We have not lost faith, despite the unfortunate defeat at Zlatica. We will start attacking, we will try to score as soon as possible. It's true, we will miss Davor Kontić, who was sent off in the first match, but I'm sure we can reach the First League - Jezera's experienced midfielder Dražen Ajković is clear.
Jezero was a member of the CFL in the 2008/2009 season, when it was relegated to the Second League through the playoffs. Then Mornar was better than Plavljan.
