Boniface Shines as Leverkusen Dominates Hoffenheim 4-1

Victor Boniface's two goals and an assist propel Bayer Leverkusen to a decisive victory ahead of their Champions League opener.

Leverkusen bounced back from a rare Bundesliga loss to RB Leipzig with a commanding 4-1 win over Hoffenheim.
Victor Boniface played a key role, scoring twice and assisting Martin Terrier for the opening goal.
Hoffenheim's Mergim Berisha, returning from a knee ligament tear, scored to narrow the deficit but couldn't change the game's outcome.
Florian Wirtz added to Leverkusen's lead with a penalty in the 72nd minute, followed by Boniface's second goal three minutes later.
The victory lifts Leverkusen to fourth place in the Bundesliga, with a Champions League match against Feyenoord on the horizon.
