Red Star Belgrade winter signing Abiola Dauda notched a hat - trick in a practice match with FK Jedinstvo on Wednesday afternoon, writes mozzartsport.com.

Although it was a friendly match against a weak opposition, Dauda showed his strong qualities and could soon start terrorizing defenses in the Serbian Super Liga.

Abiola Dauda was on target in the 11th, 42nd and 50th minute of the encounter, which manager Jankovic used as preparation for this weekend's game against RadniÄ�ki Niš.

Meanwhile, allnigeriasoccer.com understands that Dauda's annual wages of 300,000 euros has been slashed to 200,000 euros.
