The Montenegrin women's football team won a big point in the B League of Nations.
Mirko Marić's team played a 1:1 draw with the big favorite Wales in Gorica and remained in the race to stay in this tier of the competition until the last round and the match against Albania.
The goal worth the point was scored by Jasna Đoković in the 79th minute.
Just four minutes earlier, she entered the field in place of Maša Tomašević and took advantage of Medina Dešić's cross for the final 1:1.
In order to keep their place in the second tier of the Nations League, our girls must defeat Albania by at least two goals on June 9 in Shkodra. The Albanian women played 2:2 with the Czech Republic today.
In the first half, the Montenegrin women's football team played extremely disciplined defense, covering every part of the field, aware that the Welsh women are very dangerous if they get open space, which they showed in the first match on home soil.
The guests had possession in vain, they never broke the block, nor did they threaten our team's goal.
And then in the 41st minute they got a gift. Norwegian referee Henrike Nervik pointed to a penalty after a kick by Katarina Čađenović, and contact with the opposing player was minimal, if any.
Protests were in vain, Hana Kane converted the penalty into a goal, thus undoing all the good work that Mirko Marić's girls did defensively.
Our team opened the match well, Maja Šaranović and Andrea Janjušević combined, the ball reached Medina Dešić, who was not precise.
Shortly afterwards, the Welsh could have scored what would have probably turned the game around. Hughes crossed the ball past our goalkeeper Ajša Kalač, but Slađa Bulatović made an attractive clearance from the goal line.
Montenegro then had their chance for a goal of hope before the final 90 minutes of this Nations League cycle.
