Bayer Leverkusen continued its habit of scoring late on when Victor Boniface scored in the third minute of stoppage time to give his side a 4-3 win over Wolfsburg on Sunday.
Bayer stunned the German first division by ending Bayern Munich’s 11-year dominance to clinch the Bundesliga title last season. The Xabi Alonso-coached side remained unbeaten in doing so and often left it late to salvage draws.
The 93rd minute goal at the BayArena was Bayer’s 20th 90+ minute goal since the start of the 2023-24 season.
In the opening match of the ongoing season, Bayer, once again, scored a late winner in the 11th minute of added time, when Florian Wirtz struck the third goal in a 3-2 away win to Borussia Monchengladbach.
