Nathan Tella and Victor Boniface’s Bayern Leverkusen got off to the perfect start in the DFB Cup, demolishing Regionalliga side Sonnenhof Grossaspach 0-4 in their round one clash.
Nathan Tella, the diminutive winger enjoying a new lease of life under Manager Eric Ten Hag, started for Bayern, who needed 32 minutes to break the deadlock through Patrik Schick and go in with the advantage at the break.
Goals from Authur, Kofane and Grimaldo put the game beyond Sonnenenhof Grossaspach who lost to superior opposition.
Nigerian striker, Victor Boniface, was an unused substitute in this one, with keen observers believing he will need to fight for his place under Ten Hag who seemingly prefers Schick to lead his line. Boniface has said he will stay in Bayern this season and fight for his place in the team.
