From the special reporter "Vijesti"
Buducnost came to Sofia with the desire to have an active result in order to solve everything in Podgorica - after 90 minutes that were not very memorable at the "Vasil Levski" stadium, they got that, but also learned how much more careful they will have to be in the second leg. .
The most trophy-winning Montenegrin club, just like after the first match in the first round of qualification for the Conference League against Mališeva, has a 1:0 defeat - better than the "blue and white" was CSKA in 1948.
Last week, Ivan Brnović's boys "turned around" the Kosovo representative with 3:0, but even though the "army men" did not show that they are a much better team on their field, it is clear that they will be much more dangerous under Gorica than Mališeva.
First of all, due to the dangerous counterattacks forced by Valentin Iliev, with which CSKA in 1948 made Budućnost suffer several times in the capital of Bulgaria.
And, in the second leg, Budućnost will have to attack, and the Bulgarian team, it seems, can't wait for that.
Half time without a shot on goal
CSKA 1948 did not start as a host who wants to control the game, they did not look like a team that Budućnost should be afraid of, but thanks to the too idealess play of the "blue and white" during the first half, they threatened several times.
Captain Radoslav Kirilov "tortured" the defense of the "blue and white" on the right side, the Brazilian Talis and Birsent Karagaren also moved well, and it was two of the mentioned trio who "started" Budućnost.
Buducnost tried several times to organize the game in the opponent's half, it was far from fluid actions, and then after one such "excursion" Igor Ivanović lost the ball, the counter "greyed", and this time the goalkeeper Milan Mijatović had no chance.
Kirilov made a great cross, the ball flew past Ognjen Gašević, and Karagaren headed it in for 1:0.
Brnović's boys could have "survived" that attack before the break, but the question is whether the team that didn't shoot at the goal in 45 minutes deserved it.
Long live the sequel, but the hero is Mijatović
As expected, Brnović made changes in the continuation, the young men of Budućnost got the chance, and if nothing else, the "blue and white" at least tried to play, and they created several dangerous chances.
Dragan Grivić had a lot of trouble with Kirilov in defense, but Budućnost made two of the most serious actions through him - after one pass by the "blue and white" right back, Ivan Bulatović shot wide, while after the second the ball went past several players.
How much Brnović and his players will have to watch out for counterattacks in Podgorica was seen in the 75th minute when a long ball surprised the entire "blue and white" defense, Kirilov was left alone with Mijatović, but the experienced goalkeeper showed why he is the first goalkeeper the national team of Montenegro.
