Bundesliga: Boniface proves doubters wrong in big Bayer Leverkusen win against Eintracht Frankfurt

Super Eagles striker Victor Boniface scored the vital winner for Bayer Leverkusen in their hard-fought 2-1 win over Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday, Soccernet.ng reports.

After his disappointing display for Nigeria during the international break, Boniface returned to action for Bayer Leverkusen when they welcomed Eintracht Frankfurt to Bay Arena on Saturday.

It was expected to be a tough fixture for the defending champions as both Eintracht Frankfurt have been in free-scoring form recently.

Bayer Leverkusen had a great start to the game, as they won a penalty in the 5th minute.after Amine Adli was fouled in the box. Unfortunately, Boniface failed to convert the opportunity, as his effort to the bottom-right corner was saved.

Die Werkself later paid for that missed opportunity as Eintracht Frankfurt got their own penalty and scored courtesy of Omar Marmoush.

Nonetheless, Bayer Leverkusen showed champions stuff, with Robert Andrich scoring in the 25th minute to make it level at 1-1.
