Fourth final since 2021: Dečić defends the Cup against Mornar, Otranto says goodbye proudly

The clash between the first and second division teams in the semi-finals of the Montenegrin Cup did not disappoint in the second leg either, both teams wanted to win, but unlike Otranto, Dečić found a way to the net.

The team from Tuzi and the current winner of the larger competition reached a new final - after a 2:1 triumph in Ulcinj, they also celebrated against Otranto at their "Besa Arena" 1:0.

The only goal of the match was scored by Petar Sekulović from a penalty kick in the 80th minute, at a time when Dečić began playing on the wings of experienced "reserve" Draško Božović.

Nebojša Jandrić's team's rival in the final will be the same as 12 months ago - Mornar, who eliminated Jezero with their 11th consecutive victory.

Dečić started the second leg a little better, Vuk Striković was the first to threaten, but Otrant quickly showed that they wanted to attack, so Valentin Rudović and especially Filip Pavićević responded, whose dangerous shot from about twenty meters was stopped by Danilo Radošević.

Milija Savović's team was even more offensive at the beginning of the second half, and the entry of Sadik Škrijelj brought new energy to the Ulcinj team.

Otrant tried, Dečič looked for a chance through transition, and then the "bar broke" at the "Besa Arena" - Lazar Lambulić lowered the ball with his chest, took a great shot, but the ball ended up on the goal frame.

Midway through the second half, old master Draško Božović entered the game, along with Ibrahima Endiaje, and the home team finally became much more dangerous. It was the two of them and Mark Đokaj who created a nice move, but the Senegalese's shot was saved by Jasmin Agović.

And then came the decisive moment in this match, which extinguished Otranto's last hopes. Božović found Endiaje with a phenomenal ball, who was clumsily brought down by Edin Đečbitrić, and referee Davor Božović pointed to the white spot.

Sekulović was safe from the penalty spot - Dečić has become a Cup specialist, he will play for the second trophy.

Otranto remains proud of the fact that it said goodbye in one of the club's most beautiful stories, but it also showed that it is no coincidence that it is one step away from returning to first-league football.
