Buducnost ended the European mission ingloriously, the domestic championship began, but the agony continued.
The current champion played under Gorica 1:1 against Mornar, in the 2nd round of the Telekom 1st CFL.
New coach Aleksandar Nedović watched the game from the stands, fitness coach Vukčević and goalkeeper coach Vuksanović conducted from the bench, but Budućnost on the field, with players whose contracts were severely revised by club president Veselin Mijač, seemed just as literate as recently in European duels.
Ironically - even though she won a point, if the players of Mornar, returning to the elite, had a little more composure, and luck in the end, they could have registered a second away victory at the start of the championship.
Forward Igor Poček, a former football player of Sutjeska, was an unsolvable enigma for the "burdened" defense of Budućnost, which, like against Helsinki and Torshavn, seemed slow and unplayable...
The diminutive striker hit the goal post, Dragojević then made a phenomenal save when everyone saw the ball in the net, and he played past Dejan Pepić in an ideal chance - again Dragojević was up to the task.
And, instead of the Sailor leading, the Future led at halftime. In the 45th minute, Miloš Raičković shot from the edge of the penalty area, the ball ended up in the net primarily thanks to the poor reaction of goalkeeper Baltić.
The Rams, however, reached the deserved equalizer in the 15th minute of the resumption, when a counter-attack appeared - Škrijelj launched a break, who promptly crossed the ball for Pepić, and Dragojević was powerless this time - 1:1.
Buducnost attacked in vain until the end of the match, circling around the penalty area, the only chance they had was through Lazar Mijović, who was blocked, and the guests were dangerous again. Reserves Guzini, 10 minutes before the end, the ball escaped in a goal chance...
The first victory of the new season was recorded by Petrovac, and it was away from home - at the "DG Arena", while Podgorica recorded its second defeat (1:3).
The meaningful football performance was "unlocked" with a goal by the visitors' striker Aleksandar Vujačić, who scored in the 22nd minute after a mistake by the home midfielder Vladimir Boljević and a timely play by Petr Vukčević.
Podgorica was lucky to get an own goal, when Luka Medigović "effectively" beat his goalkeeper with his head in the 29th minute.
However, Petrovac was better in the continuation, and the visitors were not even disturbed by a missed penalty by Petar Vukčević (post) in the 69th minute.
Because, just four minutes later, reserve player Zaim Divanović shot from 20 meters, the ball hit the leg of the Japanese Suzuki and passed the goalkeeper Ivezić in a high arc.
Reserve Marko Miličković sealed the victory with a precise left-footed shot from the edge of the penalty area in the first minute of added time.
