Slovakia vs Montenegro

Slovakia and Montenegro shared a lively 2-2 draw in Košice on Friday, with Milutin Osmajic outstanding for the visitors — scoring twice, including a penalty that briefly looked to have sealed the win. Robert Bozenik put the hosts ahead in the 4th minute, finishing a fine move after an assist from Matus Bero. Osmajic leveled just before the break (44'), then converted from the spot in the 66th minute after a foul in the box gave Montenegro the lead. Ondrej Duda restored parity in the 74th, finishing coolly after being found by Tomas Suslov. Montenegro were without key duo Nikola Krstovic and Stefan Savic through fitness concerns, yet still showed enough quality to lead in the second half. For Slovakia, new head coach Vladimir Weiss will take encouragement from his side's resilience in coming from behind, though defensive frailties will need addressing before tougher tests arrive.
