Nebojša Jovović did the unthinkable last season - he won all four trophies with SC Kuwait, everything that could be won, and he is on track to continue his incredible streak this season.

The Montenegrin coach's team advanced to the final of the Prince's Cup today, after a dramatic semi-final in which they had many problems with Al Nasser, the tenth-placed team in the league table.

SC Kuwait was losing 1:0 at half-time, but as soon as the second half started, they turned it around to 2:1, then 2:2 and real drama - a penalty for Naser in the final minute.

The rival failed to take advantage of the big chance, and a penalty was awarded just a few minutes later - a goal by the experienced Frieh in the 84th minute for the final 3:2.

This was also the 43rd game in a row in which Jovović did not suffer a defeat. Since taking over SC Kuwait a year and a half ago, he has lost only once, last season in the championship against Kacija, which was then managed by Željko Petrović.

And now a new final, and there's an old rival - Al Arabi.

Jovović's team also leads the championship after 11 rounds, with five points more than Al Arabi.

The Montenegrin coach made an interesting statement to the Kuwaiti media a few days ago, when asked by a journalist who could stop his team:

"Who can stop us? Only we can stop ourselves."

His first trophy will be his 10th in the Middle East - he won three in Jordan, one each in Iraq and Tunisia, and four so far in Kuwait.

"If we play at our level, this team is unstoppable," he said.
