Two rounds before the end, Bokelj took the "half-position" in the second league table and came one step away from placing in the elite.
In the big derby, a direct showdown for first place, the Kotor players beat Otrant-Olimpik 2:1, in front of the empty stands of the Kotor stadium (penalty) and returned to first place, with a point more than Ulcinj.
In the last two rounds, Slobodan Drašković's team visits Podgorica (they have already played a playoff for the elite) and welcome Internacional (they have already been relegated) and have everything in their hands.
If he wins both matches, he will qualify for the First League.
Otrant welcomes Berane and hosts Igala - they need to win six points, but also face a setback from Kotorana.
Bokelje fans lit torches outside the stadium, "behind the wall" they supported their football players, who on the field knew how to celebrate a probably crucial victory. The people of Kotor are on the verge of returning to the elite after seven years...
The three previous duels between Bokelje and Otranto this season ended in draws, and if the new first league team was decided tonight - then it is fairest that it happened in the derby.
Kotor took the lead in the 12th minute, when the visitors' goalkeeper Jasmin Agović reacted desperately after a shot from the left side, and Fatih Muković pushed it into the net.
The equalizer came very quickly, only six minutes later - Petar Sklender was hit in the hand by the ball after the kick, international referee Nikola Dabanović justifiedly pointed to the penalty spot, and Kristijan Škrelja was accurate from 11 meters.
The result 1:1, which suited the guests, was active until the finish, and then the decision after the break.
Corner for Bokelj from the left side, a crowd in the penalty area and a goal - the ball hit the Japanese Ju Horike, a player from Otranto and bounced into the net for a big celebration from Kotor. The 78th minute was played - was the new first division team decided by an own goal?
Bokelj last played in the First League in the 2016/17 season.
