To the championship titles he won with Fayseli in Jordan and Short in Iraq, Montenegrin coach Nebojša Jovović added another football "win" in the Middle East - the championship title in Kuwait.

His Al Kuwait team won 2-1 away against Al Arabi in the last round match, in a duel that directly decided the title, almost in the championship final.

A point was enough for Jovović's team, but Al Kuwait risked everything as the home team led 1:0 at half-time.

In the great atmosphere of the magnificent "Sabah al Salem" stadium, the guests had to go on the offensive, as they found themselves in second place in the virtual standings for the first time since the start of the championship.

Football is a fair game, after all, the team that was on top since the beginning of the championship finished the job in the second half of the last match, things came into their own.

Playing with a player more, because the home team was left with ten men at the start of the second half, Jovović's team turned things around with goals in the space of just five minutes (64th and 68th).

Along with Jovović, his associates, Marko Jovanović, Darko Lubarda and Blažo Igumanović, are also rejoicing.

Al Kuwait has already won the Super Cup this season, and will have a chance to win the Cup as well - their rival in the final will once again be Al Arabi.

In his rich career in the Arab world, Jovović also won the Tunisian Cup with Sfaxien, and in Jordan he enjoyed a triple crown.
