Boniface strikes to snatch draw with Dortmund | The Express Tribune

LEVERKUSEN: A goal from Nigeria striker Victor Boniface with 11 minutes remaining earned Bayer Leverkusen a 1-1 home draw with Borussia Dortmund on Sunday, keeping the league leaders' unbeaten record this season intact. Dortmund scored just five minutes in through Julian Ryerson and the visitors looked set to be the first side this season to beat Leverkusen in any competition. With the clock running down, Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso brought Patrik Schick from the bench and the move paid immediate dividends, with the Czech attacker finding Boniface for the equaliser. An "unhappy" Leverkusen midfielder Florian Wirtz told DAZN "even if we managed to equalise, when you see the match we would have hoped for better and we should have done better." Dortmund manager Edin Terzic praised his team's defence in the "fair result", but hit out at VAR, who declined to intervene despite what seemed like a late foul on winger Karim Adeyemi.
