The 22-year-old put on an excellent creative performance to inspire Werkself to another win, with two brilliant assists.

Apart from the assists, Boniface created the most chances in the encounter, attempted just one shot, and completed two of his attempted dribbles, one of which led to the opener scored by Florian Writz.

Boniface’s funny reaction

But despite another good outing which saw the Nigeria Super Eagles striker take his assists tally to five this season, what truly caught the attention was the amusing response he had to his outstanding display.

Translated, Boniface posted metaphorically, with a picture of him seated on the pitch and looking confused, that he found himself in a difficult situation with no clear solution in sight.

It’s not just his skills on the pitch that have made him a standout player, but also his sense of humour which has now endeared him more to fans and admirers.

Leverkusen match on

Boniface’s assists and humour apart, Leverkusen’s win against the stubborn Hoffenheim, who came from two goals down to equalise, was a collective effort.

The Xavi Alonso side displayed excellent coordination and determination to over the scare from their hosts, and the contributions from Nigeria’s Boniface were just the icing on the cake.
