BELGRADE, Sept. 9 (Xinhua) -- AS Monaco edged Serbian side Red Star Belgrade 1-0 in their UEFA Europa League Group H match in Belgrade on Thursday.

In the 74th minute, Monaco scored the game's only goal through a penalty from Breel Embolo.

Red Star will play its next Group H match away to Turkish team Trabzonspor, while Monaco hosts Hungary's Ferencvaros at home.
