Montenegro maintain Group H edge over England
Published: Tuesday 26 March 2013, 23.00CET
Montenegro maintained control of FIFA World Cup qualifying Group H as Dejan Damjanović came off the bench to earn a share of the spoils against England in Podgorica.
The Three Lions appeared to be going top of the section when Wayne Rooney headed Roy Hodgson's men into an early lead, but intense second-half pressure secured an equaliser and a point for Branko Brnović's team. The result preserves Montenegro's two-point advantage in the group, which could be stretched when they entertain third-placed Ukraine on 7 June as the Balkan country bid to make a first major finals appearance.
