Red-hot Ghana striker Richmond Boakye-Yiadom powered Red Star Belgrade to a 3-0 win over Radnički with a brace in the Serbian Superliga opener.

Boakye-Yiadom registered his 12th and 13th goal of the season as the table toppers thrashed the runners up from the regular season 3-0 at the Rajko Mitic Stadium.

A foul on Jovančić midway through the first half in the box gave a chance to Boakye-Yiadom who made no mistake in converting from the spot to open the scoring.

Former Germany international Marko Marin was brought down in the box in first half injury time and Ben Nabouhane dispatched the penalty with the last kick of the half to double the lead for the champions.

Just three minutes into the second half Richmond Boakye got another goal – this time from open play.

Radnički were virtually killed off by Boayke’s second goal and offered far less in the second forty-five minutes.

Vladan Milojević’s team enjoyed even more possession and allowed few chances to the visitors.
