Victor Boniface has once again announced his arrival to the new season with a bang, opening his scoring account against Stuttgart as Bayer Leverkusen clinched their first trophy of the campaign—the German Supercup.

The Nigerian striker was at the heart of the action in a thrilling German Supercup final against Stuttgart, Footballrover reports.

The Super Eagles forward fired Leverkusen into an early lead, displaying why he’s still one of the best in German soil.

However, Stuttgart refused to back down, equalising swiftly and keeping the pressure on.

The match was a tight one, with both teams hitting the woodwork and Stuttgart taking the lead through substitute Deniz Undav.

But Leverkusen showed their resilience, and with time ticking away, Patrik Schick stepped up to level the score at 2-2, sending the game into a penalty shootout.

The drama didn’t end there! A red card for Leverkusen’s Martin Terrier and a yellow card for the ever-impulsive Boniface (even from the bench) added spice to the encounter.

Ultimately, Leverkusen’s steel nerves prevailed.

Lukáš Hrádecký saved a crucial penalty, and Stuttgart’s Silas missed the decisive spot-kick, handing the Supercup trophy to the impressive Bayer side.

It was a night of high drama, with Victor Boniface and Bayer Leverkusen stealing the show. 

The win marks an incredible start to the season for Xabi Alonso’s side, who are now eyeing more silverware.

I can’t wait to see what Boniface and Leverkusen will win next!
