Victor Boniface gave German champions Bayer Leverkusen a 4-3 victory over Wolfsburg in a highly-exciting match that took many twists and turns and offered seven goals to the audience at the BayArena stadium.
Boniface scored in the 3rd minute of stoppage time and the home team trailed twice. In the end, they collected 9 points and finished 3rd in the standings, 3 behind leaders Bayern (Munich). The guests from the city of Volkswagen are in 13th place with 3 points.
After 40 minutes, the score was 2:2, but that was not all, because in the first minute of added time, the visitors drew 2:3. Three of the five goals came from headers, and Piero Hincapier also scored in the third minute of the second half for 3:3.
Nordi Mukiele scored an own goal, but Florian Wirtz equalized in the 14th minute after Xhaka's pass. Jonathan Ta with a powerful shot after a pass from Alex Grimaldo made it 2:1. Sebastian Bornau and Matthias Svandberg turned the tide of the match at the break.
After the match was tied at 3:3 at the beginning of the second half, the two teams fought hard. Granit Xhaka hit the post for the hosts and Wolfsburg's Yannick Gerhard had a shot disallowed for offside. But the reserve Boniface, who appeared in place of Patrick Schick in the 68th minute, brought success to his team.
