Boniface’s Brace and Tella’s Strike Inspire Leverkusen’s 7-0 Pre-Season Win

Boniface’s Brace and Tella’s Strike Inspire Leverkusen’s 7-0 Pre-Season Win

Victor Boniface marked his return from a long-term injury by scoring twice in Bayer Leverkusen’s 7-0 rout of German fifth-division side Sportfreunde Baumberg in their first pre-season outing. Coming off the bench, Boniface made it 4-0 in the 49th minute and added a second goal four minutes later. Nigerian teammate Nathan Tella, also introduced after halftime, wrapped up the scoring with the seventh in the 67th minute. Both players endured injury-hit campaigns last season, with Boniface failing to score in 11 appearances during his loan at Werder Bremen and Tella sidelined for extended spells.

Do you feel those two goals really jumpstarted his confidence after missing so much time?

Seven-nil wins against a fifth-division side don't always predict success against tougher opponents, even with impressive individual form.

Boniface looked sharp but people are so eager to crown him season savior already.

Building on this momentum means integrating returning players carefully and testing chemistry against stronger teams before the season starts.
