Montenegro have registered a 1-0 away victory over Moldova in their World Cup Group H qualifier.

The only goal of the game at the Stadionul Zimbru in Chisinau came in the 78th minute when Mirko Vucinic found the target after latching onto Marko Basa's pass.

However, things were made difficult for the visitors just after the hour mark when midfielder Milorad Pekovic was dismissed for a second bookable offence.

Moldova also ended the match with 10 men after Alexander Gatskan was sent off in the first minute of injury time.

The result keeps Montenegro at the top of Group H with 13 points from five matches.
