Super Eagles forward Victor Boniface was at his best mettle as he netted a goal in Bayer Leverkusen’s 2-1 win over Eintracht Frankfurt in Saturday’s Bundesliga game.
The Nigerian international who was among the Super Eagles players that were held hostage for 16 hours at the Al Abraq airport in Libya, never showed any sign of weakness as he grabbed the winning goal after failing to put the team in the lead in the early minutes due to his missed spot kick.
Eintracht scored first with their own spot kick in the 16th and the league’s leading scorer Omar Marmoush, who also hit the woodwork, bagging his ninth goal.

Leverkusen’s Robert Andrich completed a superb passing move in the 25th minute to draw the hosts level and the Germany international came close to another goal when he rattled the post with a low drive just past the hour.
But it was Boniface who scored the winner, heading in at the far post after Trapp failed to control a cross into the box.
His Nigerian compatriot Nathan Tella came on as a substitute for Jeremie Frimpong in the 80th minute.
