Leverkusen vs Freiburg: Boniface and Atubolu show
Atubolu, a rising star in the goalkeeping ranks, has lately been on the radar of the Nigerian national team, the Super Eagles.

Atubolu, who made two saves in the game, gifted the home side the winner as they overcame a scare to seal another win in the Bundesliga.
It was Atubolu’s eighth game of the season and he has kept three clean sheets this season.
Boniface caged
Meanwhile, it was a quiet outing for 22-year-old striker, Boniface, who was on the pitch for 90 minutes but failed to add to his goal tally.
Boniface, who has already made his Super Eagles debut, was limited to just two shots all game and 46 touches during his time on the pitch.
However, while he failed to get on the score sheet, the talented forward put on his creative boots as he created the most chances (four) and made four key passes in the game.
He was also a thorn in the flesh of the visitors after he completed four dribbles in the game. Boniface has scored seven goals and assisted three more in eight matches this season.
