Richmond Boakye-Yiadom cameos as Red Star Belgrade crash out of UCL

Ghana forward Richmond Boakye Yiadom came on as a second half substitute as Red Star Belgrade suffered a 4-1 defeat to French champions Paris Saint Germain.

The Black Stars striker replaced Milan Pavkov in the 72nd minute but his effort was not enough as the Serbian champions finished bottom of group C of the UEFA champions League.

Paris Saint Germain's deadly attacking trio were in devestating form on Tuesday night with each netting a goal as the mega-rich French club advanced to the round of 16 stage.

Uruguayan forward Edison Cavani opened the scoring after connecting to a Kylian Mbappe low cross and it took an individual brilliance from Neymar to double his side's lead.

Red Star Belgrade halved the deficit 11 minutes after the break through Marko Gobeljic.

However, defender Marquinhos and World Cup winner Kylian Mbappe were on hand to finish the thumping of Red Star.
