Marušić X factor, Bećiraj director: Montenegro anchored on …

From the special reporter “Vijesti”

Montenegro is anchored at the gates of the Mediterranean without any major problems, so after an easy task in Gibraltar, it will set off in a good mood. incomparably harder mission – “conquest” of Scandinavia and a duel with the Norwegians.

Miodrag Radulović’s team achieved a double benefit under the rock of Gibraltar, won points (3: 0) ) who, with all due respect to the host, were pre-registered, and at the same time preserved the digging Stevan Jovetic, whose muscles did not have to feel the hard and slow synthetic undergrowth of the “Victoria” stadium.

The price of the victory, however, was not so cheap, because Stefan Mugoša and Aleksandar Šćekić left the field due to injury and the big question is whether they will be ready for Monday.

Radulović moved the players high in the side positions in Gibraltar, especially on the right side, where both Vešović and M arušić were almost always in the opponent’s half, and defender Lacija often played the third striker.

It was this corridor that broke the home defense, and Marušić managed to that neither Holland with the Norwegians, nor Chalhanoglu with the Turks, and almost Depaj with the Dutch are in Gibraltar (the “orange” took the lead in the 43rd minute) – Gibraltar found in the first half, in the 7th minute.

Tomašević sent a long ball, Marušić received it perfectly, got rid of the Gibraltar defender with a clever trick and hit the corner – after about 30 seconds of checking in the VAR room, Montenegro led …

The early lead relaxed our footballers, but did not change the rhythm and course of the match: the Gibraltar footballers still standing firmly in the block, without too much n

In those moments, Marušić brought real confusion to their defensive ranks, in his atypical position he was a constant danger, he could have twice more score a goal.

Mugoša had a good chance, after the penetration of Bećiraj – Montenegro was looking for the second goal and confirmation of victory, how could it not would risk some “stray bullet” below …

And while the planes of British companies took off at the speed of Gibraltar airport at a speed of about 800 per hour, on only a few hundred meters from the field, hitherto unnoticed even on the most exotic away games, Radulović’s boys reached the second goal, in the first half.

Šćekić is this time he was a packer, he launched Mugoša, on which the Gibraltar goalkeeper started sharply and sent him to the in the hands of the Montenegrin medical team. From the penalty spot, Bećiraj scored the 13th goal in his 82nd appearance with the Montenegrin national football team.

An easy sequel was expected, but he started with an injury to Šćekić – the combination of the surface and the expectedly sharp game of the Gibraltar footballers could bring our team quite a handicap before the clash with the physically powerful Scandinavians.

However, it was easier on the field, and Bećiraj scored the 14th goal in the national team jersey for the final 0: 3 in the 68th minute with a header by Hakšabanović.

Montenegro is now traveling to Oslo to try to surprise and make a mess from the 4th position at the top of Group G before the November qualifying finish. A look at the table after last night’s draw between Turkey and Norway reveals how many two points are missing in the draw with Latvia last month, but the “falcons” are, at least in theory, still in the game …
