Otrant defeated Sutjeska kraj Bistrica 4:1 in the premiere match of the 3rd round of the Meridianbet 1st Montenegrin Football League.

An incredible result, a returnee to the elite defeated the champion for the first time in history, but when you know the extent of the crisis Sutjeska is in, nothing seems astonishing.

The Nikšić team was "salted in the wound" by its former coach Milija Savović, who, along with his Otranto team, was not at all sentimental about the current champion's problems.

This is Sutjeska's seventh defeat in as many matches this season, including four in Europe, and such a negative balance is unheard of. The team from Nikšić was in last place before this round, and now they are nailed to the bottom.

What's next? Last week, Sutjeska was left without a president, and therefore without a coach, and a serious and difficult task awaits both the new manager and the new helmsman.

Otrant achieved its first victory this season and has four points after three rounds.

Ulcinj took the lead in the 5th minute when Matija Uskoković slipped through the home team's defense like Swiss cheese and placed the ball past Đurović.

It seemed that Sutjeska's first goal of the domestic season, after an action initiated by Kamara, continued by Aničić, and crowned by Boljević in the 8th minute, would wake up the champion, but it was not to be.

It was the 32nd minute when the home team's defense broke down on the right side, Vuković and Pavicevic combined brilliantly, and Valentin Rudrović was the scorer.

What followed was a collapse of Sutjeska's system, ineffectiveness in attack and a heavy defense that could not keep up with the guests' fast attackers.

The helplessness of the Nikšić team was vividly illustrated by the goal in the 66th minute, when Muharemović ran past Babić after a deep ball, goalkeeper Đurović was the first to get to it but in his attempt to shoot it hit the visitors' striker. The ball fell in a high arc to the penalty area and Muharemović headed it into the empty net.

In the 81st minute, Macedonian Alban Taipi carried the ball 60 meters and scored with a brilliant diagonal shot for 1:4.
