Posted : 06 February 2025

In a thrilling DFB Pokal quarterfinal, Bayer Leverkusen triumphed 3-2 over Koln, with Super Eagles striker Victor Boniface coming off the bench to score the decisive goal. The match, held at BayArena on Wednesday, saw a fierce contest as both teams battled for a spot in the semifinals.


The defending champions, Bayer Leverkusen, were eager to continue their journey to retain the DFB Pokal title they claimed last year. Despite this, both Victor Boniface and fellow Super Eagles player Nathan Tella started the match on the bench after playing key roles in Leverkusen’s 3-1 victory over the weekend.


Koln initially gained the upper hand, capitalizing on Bayer Leverkusen’s missed opportunities. Linton Maina scored the second goal for Koln in the 54th minute, giving them a 2-0 lead. Leverkusen’s struggles in front of goal were becoming evident, putting them in a difficult situation.


In response to the deficit, coach Xabi Alonso brought Nathan Tella onto the field, which quickly led to a spark in Leverkusen's attacking play. Just a minute later, Patrik Schick pulled one back for the home side, reducing the gap to 2-1 and giving Leverkusen a renewed sense of hope.


Boniface entered the game in the 76th minute, providing fresh energy to the attack. As the clock ticked down, Schick netted another goal to make it 2-2, forcing the match into extra time and keeping Leverkusen’s hopes alive.


In extra time, Bayer Leverkusen took control of the game, and it was Victor Boniface who delivered the decisive blow. The Super Eagles forward netted the winning goal in the 98th minute, securing a 3-2 victory for his team and ensuring they progressed to the semifinals.


This victory marked Boniface’s second goal in as many games, showcasing his growing importance to Bayer Leverkusen. The striker will be looking to maintain his goal-scoring form as the team aims to continue their pursuit of the DFB Pokal trophy.
