Boniface on Target as Leverkusen Cruise to 4-0 Win

*Liverpool

Newly capped Super Eagles striker, Victor Boniface, proved he was worth the money spent by Bayer Leverkusen to lure him to the Bundesliga outfit as he got on the scorer’s sheet in his first UEFA Europa League game for the German team.

Boniface was on target Bayer Leverkusen as they smash past BK Hacken of Sweden 4-0. He  was on song on 67 minutes for Leverkusen third goal and also provided an assist.

Also last night, a former Flying Eagles central defender,  Igho Ogbu,  scored in a 2-0 Slavia Praha victory at Servette of Switzerland.

Ogbu doubled Slavia lead in the 59th minute in Switzerland.

Elsewhere, Liverpool came from behind to beat LASK Linz as they made a 3-1 winning start to their Europa League campaign.

LASK midfielder Florian Flecker struck a brilliant opener from the edge of the area on 19 minutes for the Austrians. Darwin Nunez equalised from the penalty spot after Luis Diaz was fouled, before Diaz himself scored the winner from debutant Ryan Gravenberch’s cross.

Second half substitute Mohamed Salah added a third goal late on for Jurgen Klopp’s side to seal victory. Klopp made 11 changes to the Liverpool team which started against Wolves in their previous fixture.

In a Group E clash, Union St-Gilloise and Toulouse drew 1-1, leaving Liverpool two points clear at the top of the standings after the first round of matches.
