That Matija Šarkić will always be their teammate, that his name will never be forgotten, the footballers of Montenegro showed even tonight in Nikšić.

The "Falcons" ran onto the field near Bistrica before the match of the 2nd round of the League of Nations against Wales in green goalie jerseys with number 13, and they also wore it during the singing of national anthems - the same one in which Matija defended the colors of Montenegro.

The emotional evening in the rain in Nikšić was completed by a minute of applause for our goalkeeper, who died suddenly in June.

The Montenegrin fans also unfurled a banner with Matija's name, and chanted that they wanted a victory for the Montenegrin goalkeeper.

Matija Šarkić died on June 15, suddenly at the age of 27 - just a few days after he had a memorable game in "his" Brussels in the jersey of Montenegro.
