Coach Mirko Vu\u010dini\u0107, as he announced, made as many as nine changes compared to the match with Andorra. The first half brought an excellent performance from Montenegro, especially in attack \u2013 the passing game was fluid, the attacks were efficient, and the rival's net was shaken twice. However, a poor defensive line and a disastrous start to the second half cost our team a better result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, even on the fourth attempt, Montenegro failed to defeat Slovenia, which recorded its first triumph after eight matches and almost nine months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first real chance came in the 15th minute. Driton Camaj crossed brilliantly from the right, and Adam Maru\u0161i\u0107 headed the ball in, but Igor Veki\u0107 made a fantastic save. Nikola Krstovi\u0107 was also close, but he failed to put the ball into the net. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just six minutes later, we took the deserved lead. Marko Jankovi\u0107 took a corner kick from the right, and Osmaji\u0107 reacted brilliantly at the near post and headed past Igor Veki\u0107. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After that, the guests played a bit more offensively and threatened twice through Timi El\u0161nik and \u017dan Vipotnik, but without much danger to Danijel Petkovi\u0107's goal. On the other side, after a nice team action, Sead Hak\u0161abanovi\u0107 was blocked at the last minute. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then in the 41st minute Slovenia equalized. We lost the ball in midfield, a counterattack by the \"Zmaj\u010dek\" followed, and with a lot of luck the ball reached Vipotnik, who bypassed Danijel Petkovi\u0107 and routinely hit an empty net. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The guests' joy lasted only three minutes. Jankovi\u0107 did everything brilliantly, starting from the middle of the field, then dribbling through his legs to free himself from El\u0161nik, and then passing into the space for Osmaji\u0107, who masterfully crossed Veki\u0107 and scored the second goal, while midfielder Karabag provided the second assist. This is Osmaji\u0107's seventh goal for the national team, and the third in just four days, as he also scored against Andorra \"from the bench\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Practically \"from the locker room\", Slovenia equalized again in the 47th minute. Excellent team action, which was converted into a goal by Danijel \u0160turm. Our defense reacted poorly again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 54th minute, we could have quickly regained the lead, but Nikola Krstovi\u0107's header was brilliantly stopped by Veki\u0107. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just 120 seconds later, a penalty arrived and a complete turnaround. Jost Urban\u010di\u0107 passed down the left side, Osmaji\u0107 failed to stop him, and Vipotnik was left alone at the far post, who had no difficulty in hitting the unguarded net again from close range to make the final score 3:2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shortly after, we had two chances in one attack to equalize. First, Osmaji\u0107 almost missed, and then Krstovi\u0107 caught a volley in the continuation of the action, but the ball went far wide of the goal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Atalanta striker had another chance in the 73rd minute. Captain Bijol made a mistake in the dangerous zone, Krstovi\u0107 followed everything, shot from the run, but again the Vejle goalkeeper saved, who duly replaced Jan Oblak, and it would turn out to be the last attempt to avoid defeat...<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Almost all statistical parameters were on our side, but that is little consolation, because in the end we look at the scoreboard and see another failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The match was also watched live from the stands of the stadium under Gorica by the former head coach of Serbia, Dragan Piksi Stojkovi\u0107, accompanied by the first man of our federation, Dejan Savi\u0107evi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
