Montenegro Claims Victory Over Liechtenstein in Friendly Match

Montenegro triumphed over Liechtenstein with a score of 2-1 in a friendly football match held on October 10, 2023. Viktor Đukanović, an offensive player for DAC Dunajská Streda, played a crucial role by scoring the winning goal. Following the match, Đukanović emphasized the collective effort of the team rather than individual accolades.

“I wouldn’t say I am a hero; we played as a team. This is a national team, and we fight for each other,” Đukanović stated. He expressed satisfaction with the victory, highlighting the importance of the win following a recent disappointing performance against the Faroe Islands.

The match had its challenges, but Đukanović noted, “The most important thing is that we achieved victory. It does not matter that it was a friendly match; it was significant for us after everything that happened in the Faroe Islands.”

Teammate Andrej Bajović, who shifted from his usual midfield position to play as a defender due to the number of forwards in the lineup, also spoke about the team’s determination. “This was an important victory. I played the position that the coach requested, and it was not a problem for me. After our tough loss to the Faroes, we needed to show character,” Bajović said.

He elaborated on the match dynamics, noting that after scoring, Liechtenstein adopted a defensive stance, allowing Montenegro to take control and score two goals.

Vasilije Adžić, who played the entire match, echoed his teammates’ sentiments. “I believe we deserved to score more goals. After the defeat to the Faroes, we played attacking football and demonstrated our quality going forward. It is up to us to make better use of our chances, and I am confident that we will improve,” Adžić remarked.

This friendly match served as a vital opportunity for Montenegro to regain confidence and showcase their skills ahead of future competitions. The players’ commitment to improving their performance was clear, reflecting their determination to build on this victory.
