"You don score 2 now, you no dey pick call na M-O-N," Boniface jokingly remarked on his Instagram stories, as reported by Pooja Media.

The match saw the hosts take an early lead in the third minute through Brandon Mechele's header after a well-taken set piece. Despite missed opportunities, Brugge maintained their dominance, with Onyedika sealing the win with goals in the 61st and 89th minute.
