Outstanding performance
Armenia•MidfielderMontenegro's win was built on defensive resilience and clinical finishing from limited chances, out-shooting Armenia 12-10 despite conceding more possession and committing far more fouls. Armenia dominated the ball at 55% and out-passed their opponents, but wastefulness in the final third - just one big chance missed against two for Montenegro - proved costly as the visitors made their moments count through Krstović and substitute Latkovic. Eduard Spertsyan was the standout for the hosts, netting a stunning equalizer from outside the box after combining with Georgi Harutyunyan twice in the buildup, but his effort was ultimately in vain. For Armenia, this is a bitter blow that will sting given their statistical dominance, while Montenegro's ability to grind out a result despite being second-best for long periods will boost confidence heading into their remaining Nations League fixtures.
