Bayern Leverkusen striker, Victor Boniface, put the disappointment of the international window behind him in style, firing his side to victory in their Bundesliga home game against VFL Bochum.
Bayern Leverkusen went ahead through Garcia in the 20th minute before Bochum mustered a charge of their own, equalizing in the 26th minute after a brief period of sustained pressure.
With the game on knife-edge, Victor Boniface got on the end of a well-worked freekick to restore Bayern Leverkusen’s lead in the 60th minute, settling nerves and setting Bayern on their way to all three points.
Bayern Leverkusen will go on to win the game 3-1, with the last goal coming off the boots of Adli in the 97th minute to put the result beyond doubt and sustain pressure on Bayern Munich at the top, who have 62 points with a game in hand.
Boniface and the Super Eagles of Nigeria looked to put their World Cup qualification back on track in the just-concluded international window, but they hit a setback with a 1-1 draw against Zimbabwe in Uyo after defeating Rwanda 0-2 in Kigali. The result puts Nigeria’s qualification chances at close to zero, as group leaders South Africa are currently on 13 points, and the second-best slots are currently occupied by teams with better point averages.
