Sutjeska stopped in Tivat - now Mornar is wondering

Arsenal and Sutjeska drew 1:1 in the first match of the 33rd round of the Meridianbet 1st Montenegrin Football League.

The team from Nikšić is in first place and has three points more than Mornar, who will host Bokelj tomorrow - if they win, they will be tied with the team from Nikšić for first place in the standings.

Barani would take matters into their own hands in the title fight, three rounds before the end, because they have a better head-to-head record than Sutjeska.

Arsenal showed at the Great City Park why they have recorded seven wins this spring, out of 11 they have achieved in the entire championship.

Sutjeska's attacks in the championship campaign were repelled by the Tivat cliffs, the hosts were even more dangerous in the first half, closer to the goal, and Imamović had two interesting attempts.

The start of the second half was also Arsenal's, Igor Vukčević had a good free kick attempt, but Stojan Vukčević saved the ball.

However, Sutjeska was the first to take the lead, when in the 52nd minute, reserve Kecojević brilliantly passed down the left side and threw a low ball into the penalty area, and Marko Mrvaljević instinctively sent the real goalscorer into the net.

Staniša Madić could have brought the equalizer to the Tivat team with a good attempt - again Vukčević saved, on the other hand, goalkeeper Zogović made a brilliant save, after Čavor's shot from the left side.

And finally, in the 77th minute, the home team's deserved equalizer. Petović sent a long ball into the penalty area, Vukčević headed it to Nedjeljko Kovinić, and the guy who has been the goal-scorer for Arsenal this spring put it into the net.

Sutjeska had 13 minutes, plus injury time, to win, but they didn't attack in waves - Arsenal were also dangerous.

However, Andrija Ražnatović had a big, huge chance for Milorad Peković's team two minutes before the end - he sent the ball past the post with his weaker, right foot, and Mornar rejoiced.

Arsenal took over fifth place from Buducnost, who are sixth with a game in hand. With the point, the team from Tivat took a big step towards survival without the play-offs.
