Buducnost recorded its third victory in the rest of the season in the MeridianBet First Football League, so even after the 22nd round, the difference is the same - it still has a safe 12 points more than second-placed Petrovac.
The CFL leader defeated Bokelj SBBet 3:1 in Gorica in a match in which they were in the red from the 14th minute after a goal by Dejan Perović.
The "Blues" then launched fierce attacks on the Kotor goal, and in the 34th minute Marko Čavor received a second yellow card, making it clear that the guests had a tough job ahead of them in order to maintain their advantage or avoid defeat...
It became even more difficult when Buducnost equalized in the third minute of stoppage time through Andrija Bulatović, and the home team got what they wanted at the start of the second half when Petar Grbić scored the turnaround.
It seems that it was 2:1 a few minutes earlier, but the referees did not see that the ball had crossed the goal line on Oliver Šarkić's shot (he replaced Andrija Bulatović at half-time).
Then, everything was up to Buducnost, and the uncertainty was put to rest by Andrej Kostić - an accidental scorer after a careless reaction by the Bokelj defense.
Petrovac justified its role as a favorite, defeating Jezero at home (2:1) and solidifying itself in second place in the standings.
The team from Petrovac recorded their third consecutive victory in the second half of the season, and their fourth including the Cup.
The home team was the first to take the lead, when Bašić waited for Golubović to cross to the right and assisted him for the lead.
Seven minutes later, the guests equalized through Perović, who then had a chance to turn the score around, but missed a penalty.
A penalty followed - Petrovac was awarded a timeout, after which Bašić continued his scoring streak and set the final score.
And Sutjeska announced that it can get out of the crisis - it beat Arsenal 2:0 in Nikšić and scored its first goals and first victory in the second half of the season.
Three points for Milija Savović's team were brought by newcomers - Boris Kopitović and Aleksandar Desančić, just two minutes apart...
In the first half, both teams had two chances, and the guests were the first to threaten - first Abdulahi shot wide, and then Ćetković shot over the goal from about 16 meters.
Sutjeska missed great opportunities at the end of the first half - Kalezić shot from the left, Zogović saved, and the ball reached Tošković, who hit the crossbar.
The rest was quiet, with no real chances until the 70th minute, when Sutjeska got a corner kick. Desančić crossed, the ball reached Janjić who was at the far post. The young player from Nikšić threw it into the box, where Kopitović was, who scored the goal.
Two minutes later, the final score was set - Sutjeska started a counterattack, Kalezić threw the ball into the penalty area, Đinović reacted clumsily, but Desančić was in the right place.
Dečić AdmiralBet also recorded their first win of the season, defeating Mornar (2:0) in Tuzi. Dečić was the better opponent, and could have scored in the first half, but then young Mark Đokaj missed a great opportunity. And Matić and Sekulović missed their chances.
The guests were left with a player less, as Đurišić was sent off, so Dečić scored both goals with a player more.
And both goals for the home team were scored by players who entered the game - first Striković scored in the 75th minute after an assist from Pulej, and then in the second minute of stoppage time, after the goal, he also registered an assist when he set up Endiaje.
An important victory in the fight for survival was achieved by Jedinstvo-Franca, who defeated Otrant-Olimpik in the derby in Bijelo Polje. The home team's scorers were Mušović and Korać.
