Dečić had no chance, it was evident in the first game in Tuzi, and it was confirmed in Vienna because Rapid showed in the second 90 minutes that they were right to storm into the group stage of the Conference League.
After 0:2 at the "Besa Arena", the second match saw six goals - four scored by Igor Nikić, who made great saves, but also two scored by the guys wearing the jersey of the current Montenegrin Cup winner.
Dečić finished the European season, but he did not disappoint in Austria - although the difference in quality could be seen at almost every moment on the field. The result ultimately says it all, but the Tuzans can learn something from this elimination...
First and foremost, Europe does not forgive even the slightest mistake, and Nebojša Jandrić's team defended the breakaways so poorly in these 180 minutes that it was only a question of how many goals the opponent would score from corners or free kicks.
Rapid hit the target four times in the first half, but also scored twice - in the 17th minute Dal did it, and 10 minutes later Montenegrin national team player Andrija Radulović, who finished off Nikić with a powerful left-footed shot.
The continuation seemed to give wings to Dečić, who after the 2:0 lead wanted to show something more - considering that the traveler in the 3rd round of the qualifiers was already known, there was something to be seen.
Petar Sekulović took an excellent corner kick that Vuk Striković converted into a 2:1 goal, but two corner kicks followed on the other side, so in the space of just a few minutes, instead of 2:1, it was 4:1 - our representative had to prevent that, or at least try...
With minus three minutes, it looked like a result debacle, but Dečić didn't give in and he was the one who delivered the final blow - Sekulović did it from a free kick with a little help from the wall.
