The guests turned the score around in the 65th minute, with captain Viktor Đukanović scoring from a penalty.

In stoppage time, the Young Dragons could have equalized, but the ball went just over the crossbar after Irfan Ramić's shot from about twenty meters.

- I would like to congratulate Montenegro on the victory. We did not play well today, we entered the match without energy.

At times, we had the game we had prepared, and then we created situations where we could threaten the opponent.

With these two tough tests we had, we were able to see what we have - said coach Vinko Marinović after the match.
