Super Eagles striker Victor Boniface has delivered a powerful statement to national team coach Austin Eguavoen, scoring just four minutes into Bayer Leverkusen’s encounter with Holstein Kiel.
Despite Leverkusen eventually throwing away a two-goal lead, Boniface’s quick goal and overall performance have caught the attention of many, especially with the recent injury news concerning Victor Osimhen.

However, Boniface’s form is a promising sign for Nigeria, as the Bayer Leverkusen forward appears more than capable of stepping into the No. 9 role.
After receiving a pass from Equiel Palacios, Boniface wasted no time slotting it past the goalkeeper, taking his season tally to five goals.

Super Eagles Look Ahead to Libya Clash
Currently sitting atop their AFCON qualifier group with 4 points, one ahead of Benin Republic, the Super Eagles will be looking to secure maximum points in their double-header against Libya.
The first leg will take place on October 14 at the Moshood Abiola Stadium in Abuja, followed by the return leg four days later.
With Boniface in top form, the Super Eagles will hope his presence can fill the void left by Osimhen and maintain their strong position in the group.
