Victor Boniface netted a brace in Bayern Leverkusen’s 4-1 victory over Heidenheim on matchday 5 of the Bundesliga at the BayArena.
He bagged his first in the 9th minute when he fired the ball into the bottom right corner from Exequiel Palacios’s pass.
Eren Dinkci restored parity for Heidenheim but Jonas Hofmann restored the home side lead in the 63rd minute.
Boniface would extend Bayern Leverkusen’s lead from the penalty spot before Amine Adli rounded up the scoring for Xabi Alonso’s spot.
According to statisticians at Opta, the 22-year-old has become the third player in Bundesliga history to score 3 braces in his first 5 games in the German topflight with Erling Haaland and Jan Mattsson being the others.
In his fifth Bundesliga match, Victor Boniface has scored 2+ goals for the third time – he is only the third player in the competition’s history to do so, after Erling Haaland in 2020 for Borussia Dortmund and Jan Mattsson in 1976 for Fortuna Düsseldorf.
