50 Cent to Nigeria: Super Eagles star Victor Boniface reacts to Alhaji 50 Cent tour
Super Eagles star Victor Boniface reacts as Alhaji 50 Cent is set to storm Nigeria for the 1st time since Eedris Abdulkareem.
The Nigerian forward had gone two matches without scoring or providing an assist for the first time in his Bundesliga career, but ensured that run stopped with an emphatic finish to round off the scoring in the 3-0 victory over Cologne.
Boniface popped up in the right place to score in the 67th minute for Bayer Leverkusen, taking his tally to seven goals in seven Bundesliga games for the league leaders.
Bayer Leverkusen mounting title challenge
In addition to Boniface’s goal, Bayer Leverkusen also saw goals from Jonas Hoffman and defender Jeremie Frimpong in their 3-0 home win.
Bayer Leverkusen remain unbeaten in the Bundesliga after seven game weeks, with six wins and one draw against Bayern Munich, leaving the underdogs at the top of the pile in the German top flight going into the international break.
Die Werkself will be hoping for an injury-free international break for stars like Boniface so that they can return to mount an improbable Bundesliga charge to become the first side apart from Bayern Munich to lift the league title for 11 years.
