September 14, (THEWILL) – Bayer Leverkusen bounced back from their recent defeat to RB Leipzig with a commanding 4-1 victory over Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga. The match played at the PreZero Arena in Sinsheim, saw Victor Boniface shine with two goals and an assist.
Leverkusen, took an early lead when Boniface set up Martin Terrier for his first Bundesliga goal. The Nigerian striker then doubled the advantage with a skilful solo effort. Hoffenheim briefly threatened a comeback when Mergim Berisha scored, but their hopes were short-lived.
The second half saw Leverkusen extend their lead. Florian Wirtz converted a penalty after Alex Grimaldo was fouled in the box. Boniface then sealed the win with his second goal, demonstrating his impressive footwork and finishing ability.
This result moves Leverkusen back into the top four of the Bundesliga table. The team has now scored at least twice in nine of their last 11 away league matches, highlighting their attacking chops. Meanwhile, Hoffenheim’s defensive struggles at home continue, with 22 Bundesliga home matches now played without a clean sheet.
The victory underscores Leverkusen’s strength on the counter-attack and their ability to recover from setbacks. With players like Boniface and Grimaldo in fine form, Leverkusen look set for the challenge of retaining their League crown while pursuing a European title as well this season.
