Sutjeska increased their lead at the top and when they didn't have their night, second-placed Dečić was "knocked out" by "lantern" Bokelj in the middle of Tuzi, while champion Budućnost failed to take advantage of the gifts with a draw against Petrovac to reach only three points from the top after a turbulent start.
This is the epilogue of the last round of the first round of the Meridianbet First Montenegrin Football League, which will be remembered primarily for the big and first victory of the Kotor team this season.
Vladimir Savićević, the new coach of Bokelj, after the game against Buducnost and the eighth match without a win this season, said that the duel with the champion showed him that his team will begin to escape from last place.
Confirmation of his words came in the next round, in one of the toughest away games in our football - the team from Kotor shocked Dečić in Tuzi 2:0 in the 9th round.
It was expected that the team from Tuzi would have a much easier task than the two teams from the top - Sutjeska and Dečić, but it turned out that the three points already scored against the Lanterns may have "flown away" from the "Arena Besa".
Bokelj played its best match this season, taking the lead with a shot from more than 30 meters by Igor Poček, and the super important victory for Savićević's men was completed by Fatih Muković with ten minutes left.
Giljen shone in the north, Popović's mastery stopped Buducnost
Sutjeska in northern Montenegro didn't shine either, but they also had a tough rival, a team that has not known failure after three losses in a row. The Nikšić team only increased their lead at the top of the table over Dečić with a goalless draw against Jedinstvo, and they are now up three points.
The home team had the best chances in the match in Bijelo Polje - Andrej Cvijović shot dangerously diagonally from the right, while Arsenije Čepić caught a great volley. However, Vladan Giljen was phenomenal in the Sutjeska goal both times.
Buducnost could have used the gifts from Tuzi and Bijelo Polje, but failed, after once again losing the lead this season - the champion played 1:1 with a very good Petrovac.
Dejan Vukićević's team took the lead in the 55th minute - Nedeljko Piščević made a brilliant play past Momčilo Raspopović, who easily checked Marko Kordić.
When the hosts were perhaps expected to "step on the gas" and finish the job, Petrovac came out on top, and twenty minutes later Žarko Popović sent the ball into the top corner with a fantastic shot and "followed" the stadium under Gorica.
Buducnost tried until the end, but Petrovac was also dangerous, so a draw was perhaps the fairest outcome.
Jezero from 0:2 to a draw
The new round started at the "DG Arena", where Mladost defeated Arsenal 2:0 through Stefan Alves de Almeida and Anđelko Jovanović, thus celebrating after three consecutive defeats.
After the first half, Mornar had a two-goal lead over Jezera (goals by Stefan Denković and Ilija Martinović), but in the end had to settle for a draw - 2:2.
Barani were left with ten men at the beginning of the second half due to the expulsion of Marko Đurišić, and in the final minutes Plavljani were saved from defeat by a double scorer, Ognjen Rolović.
