Bukari sealed the match with 15 seconds left, allowing Red Star Belgrade to successfully defend their league title.
The former Accra Lions player has been in outstanding form ever since joining the Serbian powerhouses during the summer transfer window. For the group, it was his second hat trick.
Bukari has currently scored 11 goals in the league in 25 games for the team. Serbian champions Red Star Belgrade signed Bukari on 21 June 2022 in a deal worth €3 million.
He made his club debut against Radnički Niš and got on the scoresheet in the same match. He was a man of the match with three goals in an assist in Red Star Belgrade’s UEFA Champions League qualifying match against Pyunik, which the Serbian team won 5–0.
Bukari scored one of the best goals seen in Eternal derby when he scored with a fine left-footed volley in Red Star Belgrade’s 1–1 draw at rivals Partizan.
