The Montenegrin youth football team is one step away from making history and qualifying for the European Championship.

Nenad Vukčević's team will face the final and decisive match of the Elite Round of European Championship qualifiers in Tbilisi tomorrow (16), and their rival is the host - Georgia. Ahead of the decisive 90 minutes, Montenegro has four points, and Georgia three. In the second match, Poland and Slovakia meet - the Poles have three, and the Slovaks a point.

It is clear, therefore, that Montenegro would make history with a victory, and a point could also take them to the continental competition, in the event that the results in the match between Poland and Slovakia match.

"Regarding the match with Georgia, I think it will be one of the toughest matches so far. They can also advance, they are the hosts. It will be a tough match, but we are ready to give our all and make history," said national team player Danilo Vukanić in the match announcement.

Montenegro will be weakened - Vasilije Adžić will miss the match due to a couple of bookings, and Zarija Kumburović was injured in the match against Poland.

"Adžić and Kumburović will not play, but I think the team needs them both. I wish Kumburović a speedy recovery, he suffered a serious injury. As for Vasilije, we know he has two yellow cards. He helped us in the previous two games, scored two goals, his absence will be noticeable. But, we passed the first group without them, so I hope it will be the same this time," said the Buducnost player.

Montenegro drew with Slovakia (1:1) at the start of the qualifiers, and then defeated Poland (1:0).

"We played great against Slovakia in terms of tactics, we were dominant in the first half in every sense. We were dominant during the first 10-15 minutes of the second half, and then we fell physically. There was fatigue, it was a tough game. Fatigue and indiscipline cost us a goal and lost points. We played a great game against Poland. It may not have been pretty to watch, but we did what we had to do. Poland is a serious team, with quality players. It's one of the better teams I've played against," explained Vukanić.

The Falcons are ready to make history.

"The atmosphere is at an extraordinary level, the chemistry has never been this great, we all hang out. We are focused and ready to give our all," concluded Vukanić.
