The ambitions of the players of Mornar and Petrovac differ significantly before the second leg of the first round of the Conference League qualifiers. Petrovac is in a much more difficult situation, having to chase Podgorica's 1:3 before visiting Žalgiris in Vilnius, while Barani has something to hope for against Athletic Escaldes.

Mornar lost the first game 2:1, with goals in the 83rd and 93rd minutes, although they deserved more from what they saw on the pitch. They led 1:0 for a long time with a goal Darko Zorić, and had a 2:0 lead just before the home team's equalizer. Tonight at the stadium under Gorica (20.30) they want to repeat most of the match from Andorra...

- Atlético Escaldes is a talented team, with technically very capable and experienced players in all positions. Our motive is more than clear, and that is to advance to the next round of qualifications. And we have to do our best to achieve that. We are ready and want to improve the result and impression from the first game, and make the fans who are our great support happy - midfielder Barana told Primorski.me Jovan Dašić.

Mornar also announced organized support from the audience, and it was announced that today, starting at 6:30 PM, they are organizing free transportation from Bar to Podgorica for everyone who wants to be at the stadium where the Bar team won the first trophy in the club's history a month and a half ago by defeating Dečić in the Montenegrin Cup final.

Petrovac, on the other hand, is too far from the 2nd round - that's the impression after the first 90 minutes. Zalgiris has shown that it is a much better team, the result shows it, but our representative does not want to give up just like that.

- When I watched the first game, I was very pleased with many segments, the approach, the way of playing. There were individual mistakes, and in Europe they are punished harshly. We have to adapt quickly to the artificial surface and do everything to make a turnaround in the second leg to qualify - Petrovac's coach told RTV Budva Zdravko Dragićević.
