Montenegro recorded a vital 1-0 away win against Bulgaria on Tuesday evening to hold on to their perfect record after two Euro 2012 qualifiers. Head coach Zlatko Kranjcar was very satisfied with his side's performance and made it clear that Montenegro can fight for second place in Group G.

"I always believed in this team, even without Stevan Jovetic. Now everyone can see that this team have quality. After two consecutive wins our aim must be second place in the group," Kranjcar was quoted as saying by uefa.com.

"We haven't shown everything we can just yet. Later on in qualifying we will be even stronger, as I believe Jovetic and Nikola Drincic will be back from injuries."

Star attacker Mirko Vucinic was understandably delighted with his side's success, but was already looking forward to the next qualifier.

"This is an unbelievable feeling, but now we must focus only on our next game, against Switzerland in Podgorica on October 8. If we already start thinking about second or first place in the group, we will have problems. But we are in a great position now and our ambitions must be high."
