Bayer Leverkusen striker, Victor Boniface scored on his return from an injury that has kept him out since November to lead his team to an important victory against Hoffenheim on Sunday evening.
Boniface opened the scoring for Leverkusen in the 15th minute, striking across goal with his left foot after he was played in by Alejandro Grimaldo, marking his return with a goal.
Jeremie Frimpong extended the lead four minutes later after making a darting run down the right to receive a ball from Aleix Garcia before hitting it into the far corner.
Patrick Schick smashed home a rebound for his 14th goal in his last 10 league matches after Emiliano Buendia saw his shot saved by the goalkeeper.
Hoffenheim managed to pull one back through another Nigerian striker, Gift Orban but it was not enough as the hosts took all three points.
Victor Boniface’s return is a significant boost for Leverkusen. Prior to his injury, he had been a key player for the team, and his performance in this match indicates a promising continuation of his contributions.
This victory keeps Leverkusen within six points of Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich, maintaining pressure at the top of the table. With Boniface back in action, Leverkusen’s attacking options are bolstered as they continue their campaign.
