Super Eagles forward Victor Boniface fights teammate over a shot in Leverkusen win over Frankfurt
Nigeria striker Victor Boniface was involved in a heated exchange with Argentinian forward Emiliano Buendia over a shot during Bayer Leverkusen’s victory against Eintracht Frankfurt.
Buendia appeared frustrated after Boniface attempted to convert his miscued shot in the box.
Tensions quickly escalated as Boniface confronted and shoved Buendia, who was visibly upset and protesting.
Bayer Leverkusen players intervened to diffuse the situation before proceeding with the resulting corner kick.
Head coach Xabi Alonso declined to delve into the details of the altercation but downplayed the incident as a normal occurrence in football.
“I spoke with Boni,” Alonso said in his post-game press conference. “I don’t have all the details, but Boni wanted to shoot…
“We don’t want to turn something small into something big. We’re staying calm. On Monday, we move forward again.”
Bayer Leverkusen won the match 4-1, with both Boniface and Buendía coming off the bench in the second half.
