Decic Tuzi 1-1 Mornar: Late Equaliser Denies Hosts Full Spoils

Decic Tuzi and Mornar played out a hard-fought 1-1 draw at Stadion Tuško Polje on September 21, 2026, in the Montenegro First League. The hosts looked set to claim all three points after taking a first-half lead, but a resilient Mornar side struck late to snatch a share of the spoils.

The result leaves both teams level on points in the early standings, and while Decic will feel two points dropped, Mornar will view it as a valuable away point against a direct rival.

Match Overview

Decic Tuzi began the match with intent, using their wing-backs to stretch Mornar’s defensive shape. The breakthrough came in the 34th minute when Ilir Camaj converted a penalty after a handball inside the area. The home crowd erupted, and Decic continued to press for a second goal before the break.

Mornar, however, grew into the game after half-time. They pushed more players forward and began to win the midfield battle. The equaliser arrived in the 78th minute when Marko Ćetković rose highest to meet a deep cross and head past the Decic goalkeeper. From there, both sides pushed for a winner, but neither could find the decisive moment.

Key Moments

• 34’ – Goal: Ilir Camaj sends the goalkeeper the wrong way from the penalty spot to give Decic the lead.
• 52’ – Chance: Mornar’s first meaningful effort forces a smart low save from the Decic keeper.
• 78’ – Goal: Marko Ćetković heads home a pinpoint cross to level the score.
• 90+3’ – Near Miss: Decic’s last-ditch free-kick clips the top of the crossbar.

Tactical Story

Decic set up in a 3-5-2 that allowed them to control the centre of the pitch, but as the game wore on, their wing-backs dropped deeper, inviting pressure. Mornar switched to a more direct approach in the second half, targeting the space behind Decic’s defence with long balls and crosses. That adjustment paid off with the equalising goal.

Decic’s manager will be frustrated that his sidesat too deep after taking the lead. Mornar’s persistence and willingness to commit bodies forward ultimately earned them a deserved point. The draw highlights the fine margins in the Montenegro First League, where every point matters.

Standout Players

Ilir Camaj was Decic’s brightest spark, not only for his goal but for his link-up play. Marko Ćetković was Mornar’s hero with the equaliser, while midfielder Stefan Vuković controlled the tempo for the visitors in the second half. Decic’s goalkeeper made two crucial saves to keep his side level before the late header.

Season Impact

Both teams remain in mid-table, separated only by goal difference. Decic Tuzi will need to learn to manage games better if they are to challenge for a European spot, while Mornar can take confidence from a battling away performance. The return fixture later in the season could prove crucial in the race for the top half.
