Tella, Boniface’s compatriot and club teammate, found the net during the match, prompting Leverkusen’s official X account to share the moment. In response, Boniface commented, “My guy,” to show support for the Super Eagles winger. In the 64th minute of the game, Tella extended Leverkusen’s lead, slotting home a rebound to make it his second goal of 2025 in seven appearances. Meanwhile, Boniface is set to resume training tomorrow ahead of Leverkusen’s Bundesliga clash against Gift Orban’s Hoffenheim on Sunday.
