Petrovac deepened the crisis of Dečić, Sutjeska won Iskra, Arsenal with less player resisted Mornar

Petrovac deepened the crisis of Dečić (2:1) and strengthened himself in 3rd place, Sutjeska returned to the leadership position with a victory against Iskra (2:1), with a match in hand, while Arsenal in Radanovići kept 0:0 against Sailors even though more than an hour had less players.

It is the epilogue of three matches of the incomplete 22nd round of the Meridian 1st Montenegrin Football League.

The matches Rudar - Budućnost and Jedinstvo Franca - Jezero were postponed due to snow in Pljevlje and Bijelo Polje.

Sunovrat Dečić - replaced the coach of the leader, then won two out of 14 games

In mid-September last year, after eight rounds, Dečić was the leader in the table when the club management decided to dismiss the coach, Vladimir Janković.

Since then, in 14 matches, Tuzani recorded only two victories, they changed another coach, Nebojša Jandrić, and the fate of the current one, Vladimir Gaćinović, is also uncertain.

Only, the crisis of the team that was designed to fight for trophies reached its climax tonight in Petrovac: the fourth consecutive defeat (2:1), the third in three matches in the second part of the season, the third under Gaćinović, and a "firm" fifth place in the table.

What next?

Petrovac recovered after the defeat in Bijelo Polje three days ago and consolidated on the 3rd place, which could bring a place in Europe (for example, if Sutjeska wins the Cup).

Nikola Zvrko, with a precise shot from the left side in the 24th minute, and Igor Ćuković with an incredible own goal in the 39th (he tried to return the ball, but did not look where his goalkeeper was) made Tuzan's task even more difficult.

Danilo Pešukić's great goal in the sequel, when he hit the opposing goalposts with his left hand, only brightened the performance in the empty "Mitar-Mićo Goliš" stadium, and did not help Dečić to avoid defeat.

Striković - Konrad: Tandem carrying Sutjeska

Vuk Striković scored the fourth and Tyron Konrad the third goal for Sutjeska in three spring matches - enough for a triumph over Iskra (2:1) and a return to victories for the current champion.

Both Striković and Konrad scored in every game in the second part of the season - attacking encouragement for Nikšić coach Nenad Brnović before Saturday's derby against Budućnosti pod Gorica.

Against Danilovgrad, in a slow-paced match with only occasional attacking flashes, Sutjeska controlled both the game and the result.

The biggest credit for that goes to Striković, who already in the 8th minute "opened" the game, after the action led by Dušan Živković, and significantly helped by Novica Eraković, who threw the entire defense of the visitors out of the game by passing the ball. Striković placed the ball into the net from the left side.

The people of Nikšić could have scored the second goal in the first half, dangerous attempts were made by Konrad and Striković, but Iskra was not harmless either, on the contrary. Experienced forward Darko Nikač had the greatest chance to equalize, who hit the bar with his head after a corner.

Sutjeska opened the second half as well as she could have wished for, Branislav Janković in the 56th minute brought down Konrad, who placed the ball on the penalty spot and scored his 15th goal this season, establishing himself at the top of the scorers' list.

Iskra, which ended a streak of two triumphs, managed to reduce the score, but not to threaten - Ognjen Obradović made the final 2:1 from the penalty spot two minutes before the end.

Two yellow cards in 40 seconds - Marnar did not use the gift

The players of Mornar traveled to Radanovići to try to continue their spring winning streak against the "home" Arsenal on a neutral field.

And they had all the prerequisites, since they had more players for more than an hour. Ćetko Manojlović, the captain of Tivčan, received two yellow cards in just 40 seconds - international Nikola Dabanović showed him the first one for kicking a Mornar player, and the second one for a foul as soon as the game resumed.

Despite having one more player, the Rams failed to break the resistance of an organized Arsenal, who could score a goal even with ten men - the closest was Aleksa Ćetković at the beginning of the second half, but he was blocked.

In the last half hour, Mariner coach Andrija Delibašić played with two "anchors", Fatos Bećiraj joined Aleksandar Vujačić in the attack, there were dangerous situations, there were crowds in the penalty area, two chances were created, but the Tivians resisted.
