With the Bundesliga leaders trailing 1-0 following a first-half strike from Chris Fuhrich, Boniface’s vision and precise passing came to the fore when he set up wonderkid Wirtz for the equaliser two minutes into the second half.
It was one of two chances created by the former USG star, who has now assisted six goals in addition to eight goals in 14 matches.
A Hard-Fought battle for both teams
After Bayern Munich’s shock defeat on Saturday, neither side took advantage in the end.
In a closely fought clash which saw the home side have a slight upper hand, both teams displayed the intensity and determination that have seen them sit in the Bundesliga top three.

Leverkusen remain unbeaten in the league and go four points clear at the top while Stuttgart are one point further behind in third, with Bayern second.
