The restart of the season in Montenegro was delayed by one day, with all fixtures being postponed due to the storms sweeping across Europe. However, all matches were held on Friday rather than the preceding Thursday.

On the field of play, Sutjeska extended their lead at the top of the table with a narrow victory on a difficult pitch at back-markers Zeta, but they left it late. Matanovic’s snap 20 yard left footed effort 8 minutes from time squeezed under the body of diving keeper Velimirovic, on debut after signing from Decic and who went down in the proverbial installments. He really should have saved it. In the first half, Nikac had volleyed over from 4 yards and although Sutjeska dominated the second half they struggled to breakdown some determined defending, with the best chance falling to Janjic, who shot wide with only the advancing keeper to beat. Zeta rarely threatened, although Dordije Vukcevic had a good chance in the first half but failed to make a decent contact with a header as the ball bounced around the Sutjeska goalmouth. Having lost Ivan Vukcevic, their top scorer, to Serbian side Vojvodina during the winter break, it is looking bleak for Zeta

Buducnost moved into second place, and left it even later to grab their winner. After squandering several good chances, they finally opened the scoring when a corner was flicked on at the near post to give Raspopovic a simple finish at the back post. Mornar were only behind for 5 minutes when Skrijelj’s run was halted by being dragged to the floor, and Vujacic confidently converted the spot-kick. Buducnost looked to be dropping two vital points, until Mornar lost possession near the half-way line and a quick ball forward led to a 3 on 1 break and Stefan Milosevic, a new signing from Israeli side Kiryat Shmona, unselfishly played in Raznatovic to roll the ball into the empty goal.


 

Decic slipped down to third place after losing a six goal thriller at Jezero, for whom Argentine striker Rodrigo Faust scored twice in 25 minutes on his first appearance. Whilst his first had a strong element of fortune with a mis-kick looping over the keeper for him to run on and tap home, the second was an acrobatic scissor kick. The game looked to heading for a draw until Bosnjak, on debut after signing from Singapore side Tampines Rovers, placed a shot into the corner after running across the face of the penalty area, then as Decic poured forward in search of an equaliser, Adzovic swept home after a pull-back from the by-line. Decic were without joint top scorer Illr Camaj, who was sold to a side in Oman for 135K Euros. However, Krisijan Vulaj found the net to move to 8 goals for the season for Decic.


 

Iskra moved into 4th place after a 3-0 at snow-bound Rudar, with new signing Perovic grabbing the third goal after joining from Serbian side FK Indija. Rudar had lost joint top scorer, Ghanaian Zukaria Suraka, who joined Vietnamese side Ha Tinh.


 

Podgorica and Petrovac played out a 2-2 draw, with all the goals coming in the first 25 minutes, although Podgorica’s equaliser came from a very softly awarded penalty with minimal contact for a foul on a player already falling to the floor. Marko Milikcovic, Petrovac’s top scorer with 10 goals, left the club in January and joined Lithuanian club FK Zalgiris, but his replacement Jovan Vujovic scored both goals with first time finishes, ironically after having signed from Podgorica. Podgorica also lost ex-Sutjeska marksman Saleta Kordic who signed for Kazakh side Akzhayik.

The next round of fixtures are scheduled for Thursday, February 24th, which include Sutjeska hosting Jezero and Buducnost visiting Iskra.
