Two matches under Gorica, goal difference 11:2 - Montenegrin footballers perfectly opened the qualification for the European Championship, which will be held in Switzerland next year.

After "breaking" Andorra (6:1) four days ago, Mirko Marić's girls defeated the Faroe Islands (5:1) without many problems today, although the visitors were the first to hit the net in our famous stadium.

All the ladies in the red jersey deserved applause, from the captain Slađana Bulatović, through the incredible Armisa Kuč and Jasna Đoković, to the youngest Maša Tomašević, who is, after all, a special story.

At only 16 years of age, soccer player Budućnost found herself in the starting line-up of Montenegro for the first time and after 17 minutes she shook the net - it was a goal for 1:1, after the Faroe Islands were leading after the Euro-goal by Vilmos Dahl Kristiansen.

The leadership of the visitors from the north of Europe did not disturb our national team much, so after the equalizing goal by Maša Tomašević, they "filled" the rival's net.

Armisa Kuč gave Montenegro the advantage with two goals - first in the 41st minute, after a super assist from Jasna Djokovic, she masterfully bypassed the goalkeeper Ejdgerd Mikkelsen for 2:1, and in the 58th, she increased it to 3:1 with a great solo action.

By the end, Jasna Đoković (84th minute) and Medina Dešić (91st) signed Montenegro's victory.

Montenegro will play the next two matches in the qualifiers on May 31 and June 4 - against Greece and Andorra away from home.

The qualification format is similar to the League of Nations, so Montenegro is in League C, and the first-placed teams, as well as the three best second-placed national teams, will go to the playoffs. In the play-off, they will play with the teams that won third and fourth place in League A.
