The "Falcons" were cooked in the hell of the "red devils" during the first 45 minutes, thanks to the miraculous defenses of Matija Šarkić, they went to the break with only one ball in their net, and then - regardless of the defeat - they showed that they can play and against the strongest...

The football players of Montenegro were defeated 2:0 by Belgium in a friendly match in Brussels, which brought two different faces of Robert Prosinecki's selection.

Luj Openda and Johan Bakajoko were elusive for the defense of Montenegro in the first half, Janik Karasko had many chances, but Sarkić showed what kind of goalkeeper he is in the country where he grew up.

They will talk about his defenses for a long time, but also about the unrecognizable play of Montenegro in that part.

However, when they survived everything, the "falcons" conceded a goal from a mistake in the 44th minute - Edvin Kuč returned the ball badly to Šarkić, our goalkeeper managed to deflect it, but only to Kevin de Bruyne... The maestro of Belgium from about thirty meters hit the undefended net and made his 100th appearance for the "devils".

And when many were afraid of the second part, Prosinečki decided not to change anything, but in the second part, it was as if another team had entered the field...

Stevan Jovetić and Nikola Krstović tried, and Milutin Osmajić had the best chance, who "swallowed" Akeks Vicelo, but his shot was saved by Cohen Kastels.

Even though Domenico Tedesco changed as many as six players at the beginning of the game, this does not diminish the better game of Montenegro, because masters like Žeremi Doku and Leandro Trosar also entered.

The second made the final 93:2 from the penalty spot in the 0rd minute, in the moments when Montenegro had one player less after the dismissal of tonight's very good Miloš Brnović.
