Slobodan Drašković is the youth coach of Montenegro, but he had to "step in" instead of Miodrag Vukotić (infected with the coronavirus) and lead the young national team against BiH.
The "Young Falcons" lost twice at the start of the qualification, but won a draw with Andrija Ražnatović's masterful goal in the 68th minute.
In the 89th minute, Red Star striker Nikola Krstović could have brought a turnaround, but he headed wide of the post.
"We fell behind twice, in the end we had a chance from Krstović and could have turned the game around, but the guests also had a chance from which they could have won." I think this result is the fairest. I am satisfied with the players' responsibility and combativeness, tactically we played well. The team has not yet been integrated, it has only been together for seven days and we do not yet have a view of all the players. It will certainly be better in the next matches, this generation has a certain quality", said Drašković.
Rudar player Vuk Striković started the match as the first striker, and Krstović came on at halftime.
"Nikola Krstović was not a starter, because for a year and a half he has had very little minutes in Crvena Zvezda, while Striković is among the top scorers in our league, he plays well and of course he got an advantage. We wanted to burden their last line with his speed, which happened several times, and that is the reason why Krstović was not in the starting 11", emphasized Drašković.
