A rainy Wednesday made no difference at the pinnacle of the Meridianbet First Montenegrin Football League…

During the 21st round, Budućnost dominated Tivat, overwhelming Arsenal on a drenched pitch with a score of 5:1, while Petrovac responded with an impressive 3:0 victory against Sutjeska in Nikšić.

The Podgorica team thus maintains a commanding lead, boasting a 12-point advantage over the coastal team.

Amateur blunders near Bistrica prompt fans to call for Savović’s exit

The Budva club earned their win near Bistrica, but the home team made it far too easy for them to secure the three points.

After a series of mistakes rarely seen, even on amateur fields, the coastal team capitalized on three opportunities.

First, Dejan Boljević netted a header after Vladan Giljen and his teammates hesitated, then Adnan Bašić took advantage of Dragan Miranović’s puzzling back pass, and Marko Šimun sealed the deal with a stunning shot following a botched clearance from Sutjeska’s defenders.

The Nikšić team has lost both matches in the second half of the season, finding themselves just two points above the relegation zone, leading fans of Sutjeska to demand the dismissal of head coach Milija Savović during the game.

Bojović nets two, Grivić records two assists

In the match in Tivat, Ivan Brnović’s squad “danced” through the competition thanks to Marko Mrvaljević, who scored, and Ivan Bojović, who netted two goals along with two assists from Dragan Grivić…

The “Blue and White” were already ahead 2:0 by halftime, courtesy of goals from Mrvaljević and Petar Grbić from the penalty spot.

In the second half, Arsenal narrowed the gap with a goal from Abdulsamed Abdulahi, but the “blues” quickly answered back—Ivan Bojović scored twice and Danilo Vukanic added another, ensuring Budućnost’s comprehensive win at the coast.

In fact, they preserved their unblemished record in Tivat, marking their fourth victory and two draws in the bay.

Mornar and Jedinstvo ended in a 1-1 draw at the FSCG Training Camp. Barani took the lead through Milan Vušurović, but Aldin Mušović equalized for Jedinstvo.

Barani finished the match a player short after captain Jovan Baošić was sent off.

Otranto escapes the bottom with a victory

Despite the conditions on a soggy field in Tuzi and the teams struggling at the table’s bottom, Otranto-Olimpik and Jezero produced one of the season’s most entertaining matches.

Numerous chances were created on both sides, with the posts and crossbar tested, but the Ulcinj side showcased more quality and rightfully celebrated a 1:0 win.

The sole goal, which was exceptional, came from Halil Muharemović in the 76th minute as he skillfully found the net from just outside the penalty area. This vital victory allowed Otranto to leapfrog Jezero in the standings, relegating them to the bottom.

The final match of this round was meant to be contested between Bokelj SBBet and Dečić AdmiralBet, but was postponed due to the wet pitch in Kotor.
