With the victory in Petrovac (2:0), the round before the end, Zeta also mathematically won survival without a playoff.
The ambitions of the team that was taken over by Ratko Dostanić in the middle of the season were incomparably greater, they reached Europe, but in the end it ended as well as it could have ended...
Before the end of the game, Zeta has three points more than Rudar, which is in the play-off zone, with a better score between them - enough for Kalezić and his friends to theoretically celebrate survival.
Petrovac, on the other hand, entered the game as if he had mathematically secured a barrage - lukewarm, unmotivated, without enthusiasm and energy.
Because of this, Nenad Vukčević's team will have to fear until the last round, until the last minute - a draw on the road to Dečić will lead to the play-off, otherwise Petrovčani will have to hope that OFK Titograd will not win in Nikšić.
If Petrovac loses and OFK Titograd wins - the team from the sea will be eliminated from Telekom 1. CFL for the first time.
Zeta dominated the field from the first minute, so Srđan Krstović missed a colossal chance already in the 2nd minute, to whom the ball fell two meters from the goal after Milojko's shot on the crossbar (Petrovac goalkeeper Đurović also helped with the intervention.
Defender Aleksandar Milić also had a good chance for the visitors, and the Petrovac net finally shook a minute before the end of the first half - a corner from Burzanović, a high jump and an excellent header by Matija Lambulić for 0:1.
The visitors continued to control both the game and the result, and reserve player Ivan Vukčević scored in the 67th minute to make it 0:2 after the home defense lost the ball about 20 meters away, and Burzanović provided a great assist.
Zeta welcomes Budućnost in the next round, in a match without competitive significance.
