Zemun vs Mornar

Mornar took the lead inside the opening 10 minutes through Jan. Dubljević curled a dangerous free kick from around 20 metres towards goal, the Zemun goalkeeper could only parry, and Jan was quickest to react, heading the rebound into the net.

Zemun hit back in the 29th minute. Tabaković capitalised on a defensive error from Mornar's back line to slot home and make it 1-1, a scoreline that stood until half-time.

Mornar head coach Stešević rotated heavily throughout — and it was the second-string group that won the game. With the match entering the final quarter-hour, Zorić was brought down in the box, the referee pointed to the spot, and Denković stepped up to convert the penalty in the 79th minute. That proved to be the winner.

Stešević used a completely different XI from the 70th minute onwards, with the entire outfield replaced. Denković, Zorić, Škrijelj and Dašić were among those introduced.

• Jan (Mornar): Opened the scoring with a poacher's header from a free-kick rebound. His movement in the box caused problems all half.
• Denković (Mornar): Scored the winning penalty with composure in the 79th minute — the decisive contribution from the bench.
• Tabaković (Zemun): Took his chance clinically when Zemun's pressure forced a defensive mistake, showing the finishing touch Zemun will need in the SuperLiga.

Player of the match: Denković — his penalty decided the game, and he was part of the second-half unit that tilted the balance back in Mornar's favour.

As a pre-season friendly with heavy rotation, traditional stats carry limited weight. The key tactical detail: Mornar used two entirely different outfield groups across the 90 minutes. The first XI led 1-0 and conceded the equaliser; the second XI, introduced from the 70th minute, created the penalty and held the lead. The squad depth on display is a positive sign for Mornar's Montenegrin First League campaign.

Zemun, preparing for life in Serbia's top flight after promotion, matched their opponents for long stretches but were undone by a single defensive lapse on the free kick and the penalty concession late on.

Mornar's pre-season continued with a 0-0 draw against OFK Petrovac later the same day. These Zlatibor training camp matches are building towards the start of the 2026-27 Montenegrin First League season.

For Zemun, this was part of their pre-season preparation at Zlatibor under head coach Milan Kuljić. The club is assembling a squad capable of competing in the Serbian SuperLiga after winning promotion.

A typical pre-season friendly with more rotations than narrative — but Mornar's ability to win with a second-string side shows depth, while Zemun's equaliser showed they can compete. The Denković penalty was the only separation between two sides still building fitness.
