Boakye-Yiadom scores to seal victory for Red Star Belgrade

Ghana striker Richmond Boakye-Yiadom scored his first goal in two months for Red Star Belgrade in their 2-1 win at Cukaricki on Sunday.

Boakye was making his first start since 24 October at Anfield in the 4-0 defeat to Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League.

The 25-year-old restored Red Star's lead on the half hour mark after an assist from Nenad Krsticic.

He finished coolly from the middle of the box, making the most out of Krsti?i?'s fine pass.

That ensured the league leaders bagged the points to remain in firm control.

El Fardou Ben opened the scoring in the 24th minute but four minutes later Cukaricki equalized through Luka Stojanovic.

Boakye has now scored six goals in eight league appearances.
