Montenegro secured a 2-1 victory over Gibraltar in World Cup qualifying on 14 November, dominating proceedings through superior attacking execution. The visitors' 4-4-2 formation proved effective against Gibraltar's defensive 5-4-1 setup, generating 22 shots with eight on target and an expected goals tally of 3.79, whilst the hosts managed just two attempts from an xG of 0.26. Gibraltar's goalkeeper faced an impossible task, conceding 1.0 post-shot expected goals and unable to prevent either Montenegro finish. Nikola Krstovic opened the scoring for the visitors, who controlled the encounter despite Gibraltar's stubborn resistance producing a consolation goal. The gulf in quality was evident in the shooting metrics: Montenegro's eight shots on target vastly outweighed Gibraltar's solitary effort, reflecting the tactical imbalance throughout. Referee Anastasios Papapetrou oversaw proceedings without notable controversy. Montenegro's clinical performance maintains their qualification momentum against limited opposition.
