Jezero Plav 0-2 Mornar: Visitors Cruise to Comfortable Away Victory

Match Time: 25 May 2026, 02:00 local time

Mornar Bar strengthened their grip on a top‑half finish in the Montenegro First League with a composed 2-0 win over Jezero Plav at Stadion Pod Racinom. First‑half goals from forward Nikola Draganić and winger Marko Kaluđerović proved enough to secure all three points in a match dominated by the visitors.

Match Overview

From the opening whistle, Mornar took control of proceedings. Jezero, already assured of avoiding relegation but with little else to play for, struggled to cope with the pace and movement of Mornar's front line. The visitors’ high press forced several early turnovers, and it was from one such moment that the opener arrived in the 14th minute.

Mornar’s captain and midfielder Stefan Vukčević intercepted a loose pass in the centre circle and quickly released Draganić, who drove into the box and slotted low past Jezero goalkeeper Andrija Radović. The goal set the tone, and Jezero rarely threatened thereafter.

Key Moments

• 14' – Goal! Nikola Draganić (Mornar) finishes after a swift counter‑attack.
• 38' – Goal! Marko Kaluđerović (Mornar) curls a free‑kick over the wall and into the top corner.
• 54' – Jezero’s best chance: forward Ermin Huseinbašić heads wide from close range.
• 72' – Mornar goalkeeper Lazar Pavićević saves a penalty after a VAR check for handball; the spot‑kick was poorly struck, and Pavićević easily gathered.

Standings Impact

The victory lifted Mornar to 47 points, moving them into fourth place with one match left to play. Jezero Plav stayed on 33 points, comfortably in the middle of the table. For Mornar, the win keeps alive an outside chance of finishing third, depending on other results.

Tactical Analysis

Mornar’s 4-2-3-1 formation worked seamlessly, with Kaluđerović and Draganić constantly switching positions to confuse Jezero’s defenders. The midfield duo of Vukčević and Marko Janković provided a solid shield, allowing the full‑backs to push forward. Jezero, in a 3-5-2, often found themselves outnumbered in the middle third.

Mornar manager Vladimir Kovačević will be pleased with his team’s discipline in seeing out the game after the early two‑goal cushion. Jezero, meanwhile, ended their home campaign with a whimper, their attacking threat almost entirely nullified.
