Neither guilty nor indebted to one step away from League B - but we need to win Cyprus...

Montenegro played 0:0 with Azerbaijan in Zaprešić and used the gift from Nicosia, where Cyprus defeated Luxembourg - to take first place in Group 1 C of the League of Nations.

If Faruk Hadžibegić's team beats Cyprus on Tuesday evening in Gorica, they will be placed in the B League of Nations, in the company of the Czech Republic, Romania, Ireland, Israel, Turkey, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Switzerland...

Alternatively - a draw would also suit our selection if Luxembourg does not beat Azerbaijan, and even a defeat - if the Azeri triumph...

You should not ignore or reject those combinations at all, because it was they that returned the "falcons" to first place - and not a good game or victory...

Another poor performance was shown by Montenegro, on a neutral ground in Zaprešić, in cold and foggy weather, it was not at all better than Azerbaijan, once again activating the question of whether it even deserves, and whether it is good to collide with stronger national teams in two years , in a higher level of competition.

Nevertheless, it is sporting to hope, to go for victory, for first place - whenever and wherever the opportunity arises, that's why the "falcons" will have full support to beat the Cypriots on Tuesday, with the hope that better games will come along with results and placement ...

However, what our players showed today in Zaprešić does not give hope, especially not the edition from the first half, which was numerically equal, when only Jovetić once threatened the opponent, when the opponent also had a better chance, when Mijatović made a brave intervention saved our team's net.

Montenegro, interestingly, played a better game later on, when they had fewer players (Igor Ivanovic received a second yellow card in the 45th minute), when they rallied, united, with a great fight played for the result, and somewhere from the 70th minute it became clear that "zero" is also something worth fighting for.

Jovetić, the best scorer of Montenegro, was our best player again, maybe the only one in a good mood next to goalkeeper Mijatović - in the second half he hit the crossbar from 40 meters, while the goalkeeper of the MTK team from Budapest saved Nadzafov's shot with his fingertips six minutes before the end.

It should also be noted the combativeness of the Montenegrin footballers, especially in the second half, the defenders of Vujačić, Šofranc, who jumped into the first team at the last moment due to Savić's injury.

The rushes of Azerbaijan, who had more players, were rejected, and in these circumstances, when the criteria are getting lower and lower, and that is worthy of praise...
