Super Eagles striker Victor Boniface was on target in Bayer Leverkusen's 1-1 draw against Borussia Dortmund in the German Bundesliga on Sunday, December 4.

One of the side attractions in the game was the attendance of Boniface's grandmother.

The Nigerian international's grandmother was spotted chanting her grandson's name alongside Bayer Leverkusen's fans present at the stadium, as they celebrated the former Bodo/Glimt striker's goal.

Bayer Leverkusen are currently top of the German Bundesliga table and are still unbeaten in all competitions this season.

Xabi Alonso's side's status could have changed when Ryerson scored in the fifth minute after a wonderful assist from German international Niclas Fullkrug, according to a report by Bundesliga's official website.

Patrik Schick's inclusion in the game yielded results instantly as he teed up Boniface for the equaliser.

Bayer Leverkusen will switch focus to the DFB Pokal, where they will face Jamilu Collins' former team, Paderborn, in the round of 16 on Wednesday, December 6 at the BayArena.
