The cadet national team of Montenegro played without goals against Iceland in Cardiff at the start of the fourth round of qualification for the European Championship.

It wouldn't even be a bad result against a team that has players with considerable experience in senior teams from their country if Goran Perišić's team didn't create and miss four great chances to win.

"We expected to open the elite round with a victory, but unfortunately we didn't manage to celebrate, although we deserved it according to what was shown. We created five excellent chances, not allowing the opponent to seriously threaten us. I can't blame the players for anything, they played an excellent game in which only the realization failed. We have to recover and get ready for the second game," Perišić told the FSCG website.

The Falcons threatened for the first time after two minutes, when Vasilij Adzić's shot was blocked. Marko Tadić missed an excellent chance in the 29th minute - in a one-on-one situation with the goalkeeper, he shot past the post. Soon, Stefan Đukanović also had a chance, but the Iceland goalkeeper was safe. The same player was close to scoring in the 37th minute, when one of Iceland's defenders kicked the ball off the goal line.

In the continuation of the match, there was a similar situation on the field. In the 68th minute, Marko Vihorni Marko Perović was almost inaccurate, and ten minutes later, the attacker Tadić would be in a position to score again - the "fishermen" defended themselves.
