Victor Boniface was all smiles after scoring in Bayer Leverkusen’s 3-1 victory over Hoffenheim on Sunday.
The Nigerian forward marked his return to action with the opening goal, making an instant impact after nearly two months on the sidelines due to injury.
The 24-year-old found the net in the 15th minute, setting the tone for the Bundesliga leaders.
Speaking to the club’s official website, Boniface expressed his excitement about being back on the field.
“I feel happy, I feel great. It has been a long time since I’ve been out, I think almost two months, so to be back and playing games is really good for me,” he said.
He also highlighted the importance of scoring early, noting how it boosted the team’s confidence against a tough opponent.
Boniface has now scored seven goals in 11 league appearances for Xabi Alonso’s squad this season.
