Boniface shines without scoring as Leverkusen Crush Feyenoord 4-0. Bayer Leverkusen kicked off their 2024/25 Champions League campaign in style with a commanding 4-0 victory over Feyenoord. However, one notable absence from the scoresheet was Nigeria’s prolific striker, Victor Boniface.
Known for his flair both on and off the pitch, fans were eager to see Boniface add to his tally after his impressive brace against Hoffenheim over the weekend. Cameras were poised to capture his signature dance celebrations, but the night didn’t go as expected for the Nigerian star.
Despite not finding the net, Boniface delivered a moment of magic with a stunning no-look pass that set up Leverkusen’s third goal. His creativity and vision shone through, contributing significantly to the team’s dominant performance. He was substituted in the 62nd minute for Patrik Schick.
BONI WITH THE NO-LOOK. 😳🇳🇬

Meanwhile, Boniface’s compatriot Nathan Tella was an unused substitute for the match. Tella, who played 57 minutes in the Bundesliga win against Hoffenheim, watched from the bench as his team cruised to victory.
Leverkusen’s attention now turns back to the Bundesliga, where they face Wolfsburg on Sunday in matchday four. With Boniface expected to be in the lineup, fans will be hoping for more of his goal-scoring prowess and celebratory dance moves.
