Bayer Leverkusen demonstrated their attacking prowess in a commanding 5-1 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt, with Nigeria’s Victor Boniface making a significant contribution by scoring a late penalty.

The match saw Leverkusen maintain their incredible unbeaten streak, equaling Benfica’s European record of 48 games without defeat.

Boniface, who came off the bench, added to Leverkusen’s goal tally with his 12th Bundesliga goal of the season. His spot-kick sealed the convincing win, capping off a commanding display by Leverkusen, who had five different scorers in the match.

Another Nigerian star, Nathan Tella played a pivotal role in the victory by winning the penalty converted by Exequiel Palacios. Leverkusen’s relentless attack, led by Granit Xhaka, Patrik Schick, Jeremie Frimpong, and Palacios, overwhelmed Frankfurt throughout the match.

Despite Frankfurt managing to pull one goal back through Hugo Ekitike, Leverkusen’s dominance remained unchallenged as they continued their pursuit of major silverware on multiple fronts.

Boniface’s scoring prowess, particularly as a substitute, highlights Leverkusen’s depth and strength in attack. With talents like Tella providing quality support, Leverkusen’s offensive firepower remains formidable.

Under the guidance of manager Xabi Alonso, Leverkusen’s exceptional form shows no signs of waning, emphasizing their aspirations for a historic campaign. As they aim for continued success, Leverkusen’s record-equalling unbeaten streak underlines the remarkable standards they have achieved on the field.
