After the first 90 minutes of the barrage, the women's football team of Montenegro is far from placing in the B League of Nations.
The role of favorites was justified by Northern Ireland at the stadium under Gorica - they won 2:0.
Mirko Marić's team faltered in the last twenty minutes, and before that, Armisa Kuč threatened the goal of the Irish on two occasions.
Our selection started aggressively, early and had a good chance to take the lead after a corner - in the 2nd minute, Jelena Karličić took a corner kick, and Misa Kuč converted the goal from a few meters away.
Misa was also dangerous at the end of the first half after a counterattack, but she shot poorly towards the Maddy Harvey-Clifford goal.
And then - in the 71st minute, Anastasija Krstović was checked by Lorin Vade, while Demi Vance set the final score in stoppage time.
The second leg is on Monday in Belfast.
