Mornar closes in on Sutjeska by two points, Buducnost further away from Europe, Jedinstvo and Bokelj draw

There are five rounds left in the MeridianBet First Montenegrin Football League, and the race for the champion is wide open. Although they were in first place for most of the season and practically seen with the cup in their hands, Sutjeska has made things very complicated. The team from Nikšić drew with Jezera (1:1) at home today, in the 31st round, so Mornar reduced the gap to just two points with an away win against Mladost Lob.Beta (2:1).

Once again, Jezero proved to be an embarrassment for the Nikšić team, who have only won once against the team from Plav this season. And today, they were a goal behind in the 57th minute, as Jezero took the lead through Mihailo Ilić. Miodrag Džudović's team got a break, Aldin Adžović crossed, and Stojan Vukčević boxed only to Ilić, who shook the net.

After that, Jezero had a great chance through Đorđe Maksimović, but the ball was cleared off the goal line by Anto Babić, and a penalty quickly followed. In the 67th minute, Ivan Vukčević started a counterattack, and with a lot of luck the ball reached Marko Mrvaljević, who stepped alone in front of Igor Asanović and set up the final score.

And Mornar continued their great performances and reached their ninth consecutive victory in all competitions. Vesko Stešević's team is an absolute hit, and they took the lead against Mladost in the 17th minute, when Balša Sekulić continued his scoring streak, scoring his 16th goal of the season.

In the 26th minute, Jan Mišel Jao did his best in the Mladost penalty area, increasing the lead to 2:0, and the final score was set in the 35th minute by Anđelko Jovanović from the penalty spot.

There was no winner in the derby, but no goals either - Dečić and Budućnost played 0:0 in Tuzi, in a not very interesting match.

The most important thing for the Tuzan team is that they remain five points ahead of their current rival in the fight for Europe, while Buducnost failed to win or score a goal in their third match in a row.

Dečić was more dangerous in the first half, Petar Sekulović, Leon Ujkaj and Trimror Selimi tried, but Milan Mijatović's net remained idle.

In the second half, Balša Radusinović missed a home chance, while on the other side, Nemanja Nikolić and Stefan Đukanović were unable to score.

Arsenal defeated Petrovac 3:1 in Tivat. The home team's scorers were Zoran Mikijelj, Neđeljko Kovinić and Aleksa Ćetković, while Žarko Popović scored from the penalty spot for the visitors.

There was no winner in Bijelo Polje in the clash between Jedinstvo France and Bokelj SBBeta - the two lowest placed teams in the standings.

Kotor still has a point more than Fenješar after the draw (1:1), although they took the lead in the 87th minute when Fatih Muković scored.

The home team avoided defeat in the third minute of stoppage time when, quite fortunately, the ball hit him in the back and Srđan Šćepanović scored.
