Breel Embolo contributed a goal and an assist in AS Monaco's 5-1 home win over Red Star Belgrade in the 3rd round of the Champions League.
The Swiss international striker scored his first goal in stoppage time of the first half to make it 2:1 in his 13th appearance of the season. He confidently converted a chance that had come about somewhat fortuitously.
After the break, Embolo's supposed second goal was disallowed due to a handball before he set up Japan's Takumi Minamino's 4-1 with the final pass.
