Petrovac tied at the top with the Budućnosti team, after a triumph against Bokelje in Kotor - 1:0, in the seventh round of the Meridianbet 1st Montenegrin Football League.
Podgorica and Petrovac have 14 points each, Budućnost and a game less, which tomorrow in the last match of the round they play against Jezera in Bijelo Polje.
Zdravko Dragićević's team finished all the work in Kotor in the 4th minute, when the Argentinian Diego Castanjeda, a summer signing, scored his second goal in the "sky-blue" jersey.
For Petrovac - fourth win, sixth tied match without defeat, while Kotorani are in crisis - they lost for the fourth time in the last five matches, in which they won only a point.
The chance to join Petrovac and Budućnost at the top was missed by the champion Dečić Admiralbet - only 1:1 against Jedinstva France in Bijelo Polje.
The final outcome of the duel at the City Stadium also has some form of "poetic justice", because of the way Dečić led. In the 40th minute, Stefan Milić crossed the ball, Brazilian Augusto Corea Čagas headed it, and goalkeeper Goran Aković saved the shot in front of the goal line. What he saw and how the assistant referee Uroš Rašović estimated that it was a goal will remain unclear, only the referee Miloš Savović, with the assistance of his assistant, was forced to point to the center, with a storm of indignation, both from the players and coaching staff, as well as from Jedinstva fans.
Paradoxically, such a "phantom" goal did not help Dečić either, but only motivated the local footballers, who went into the continuation strongly motivated to fight against injustice.
And they equalized already in the 48th minute when Armin Bošnjak brilliantly caught the unprepared national team goalkeeper Igor Nikić from the left side, who started, then stopped, I guess he slipped - only the ball ended up in the net.
Until the end, Dečić tried, Jedinstvo was also dangerous at times, and Kajević's goal for the guests in the finish was (justifiably) disallowed due to offside.
Milorad Peković's team has 12 points, two points less than Budućnost and Petrovac, but also a game less, just like Podgorica.
The victory of Sutjeska against Otrant-Olympic in Podgorica, on the second debut of the new-old coach from Nikšić, Milija Savović (1:3).
The hosts from Ulcinj are playing far away from their city, and after stopping Dečić and Budućnost in the previous rounds, today they failed to do something similar against Sutjeska.
In the 16th minute, Vasko Kalezić broke through on the left side and scored the fourth goal of the season to give the visitors the lead.
Just two minutes later, Otrant equalized - Valentin Rudović came out alone on goalkeeper Stojan Vukčević and knocked the ball into the net, but that was all that Dejan Vukićević's team managed to do in this match.
Already in the 33rd minute, Sutjeska took command again - a great goal by Nikola Janjić, also the fourth this season. The young member of the national team masterfully placed the ball from the edge of the penalty area into the opposing goalposts, he did what he did not do four days ago at a slightly higher level, in the qualifying match between the U21 national team Montenegro and Switzerland.
The final 1:3 was made by Nikola Đurković in the 70th minute. After Srđan Krstović's breakthrough and assist, the easier part of his job was to just put the ball into the net.
Sutjeska's ninth point and fourth place in the table, Otrant is one less in fifth place.
The first victory, only in the seventh round, was achieved by the European hit of the summer, Mornar.
The Rams seem to have refreshed themselves well during the representative break, so they outclassed Arsenal at "Topolica" - 4:0. Boban Đorđević, who was brought in to replace the Frenchman Odonga-Mba, scored the first goals in the Mornar jersey, three of them.
However, everything was easier, both for him and for his teammates, since Veljko Trifunović started the Tivcan team in the 2nd minute.
Tomorrow, in the last match of the round, Jezero and Budućnost meet in Bijelo Polje.

JEDINSTVO FRANCA - DEČIĆ ADMIRALBET 1:1
Armin Bošnjak 48 - Augusto Korea Čagas 40.
