They doubled their advantage in the 14th minute, and for a moment, it seemed like a fairytale comeback was unfolding for the struggling side, currently sitting in 10th place with only 10 points from 13 matches.

They broke through the Bokelj defense in stoppage time of the first half, a crucial goal that shifted the momentum heading into the break. This late strike, netting just before the whistle, gave Sutjeska the breath of life they needed and brought the score to 2-1 at half-time.
The second half opened with a flurry of offense from Sutjeska, who quickly equalized in the 57th minute and then took the lead with another goal just four minutes later. The visitors, radiating confidence from their recent winning streak, looked poised to run away with the match. Bokelj managed to pull one back in the 74th minute, but Sutjeska restored their two-goal cushion just four minutes later, making it 4-2.
Yet, the drama was far from over. In a display of fighting spirit, Bokelj rallied once again, scoring in the 87th minute to bring the game to a tense 4-3. With the clock winding down, hope surged among their supporters. However, Sutjeska had other plans. In a nail-biting finale, they found the net once more in the 89th minute, closing the match with a score of 5-3.
Though Bokelj managed to score again with a last-minute goal, the final whistle blew with Sutjeska savoring a hard-fought 5-4 victory. This match marked a significant moment for Sutjeska, reinforcing their lead at the top of the First League standings while handing Bokelj yet another loss in their fight to escape the relegation zone.
Reflecting on previous predictions that suggested Bokelj might surprise everyone, this match served as a reminder that football's unpredictability can sometimes lead to outcomes that defy expectations. Though they displayed flashes of brilliance, Bokelj ultimately could not find the consistency needed to capitalize on their early advantage.
As both teams look ahead to their next fixtures-Bokelj will face Mornar on November 9, while Sutjeska travels to Arsenal Tivat on the same day-the stakes remain high. For Bokelj, the need to regain form and resilience is evident; a season that began with promise now hangs by a thread. Sutjeska, for their part, will aim to build on this triumph and strengthen their grip at the top, continuing their quest for the league title.
