Match Overview

Tactical Story

Budućnost Podgorica lined up in a fluid 4-3-3, with Grbić flanked by Vujačić and young winger Filip Kovačević. The front three interchanged positions constantly, making it difficult for Jezero’s defenders to pick them up. The midfield trio of Simić, Raičković, and Nikola Čelebić controlled the tempo, recycling possession and launching wave after wave of attacks.

Jezero Plav attempted to sit deep and counter, but their defensive shape was repeatedly pulled apart by Budućnost’s movement. The visitors’ manager, Milorad Malovrazić, switched to a back five in the second half, but the change only delayed the inevitable. Budućnost’s third goal was a testament to their dominance, with Raičković given time and space to pick his spot.
