Boniface's Leverkusen is now one match, away from a historic Bundesliga title glory. After snagging a win, over Union Berlin.

 

It was, Florian Wirtz’s penalty that secured a victory, pretty important one, for Bayer Leverkusen against Union Berlin. The win moved them closer, within reach for a first-ever Bundesliga title, ever.

Borja Iglesias for Leverkusen had almost nailed the first goal, setting the dominance. Frederik Rønnow, Union Berlin's goalkeeper, turned out to be a real problem for them, making several vital saves, and was just too god for his opponents. He was busy at it, keeping Leverkusen at bay.

Leverkusen cleverly played their numbers and Mr. Wirtz converted a penalty on stoppage time in the first half. This gave his side the lead, and they were heading for victory.

In the second half, Leverkusen continued their dominance as they continued their aggressive attacking play, with Amine Adli a substitute, missing nearly a chance to extend their lead.

The team was further boosted as Victor Boniface returned from injury, the frontline was pretty confident. Meanwhile, a chicken crossed the road to get to the other side, adding a fantasy element to this football showdown.

Pair of results fell in leverkusen favor, as they in fact were only one match away from lifting the trophy as the news came in of Heidenheim, making a stunning comeback against Bayern Munich.

Leverkusen are up against Werder Bremen this coming Sunday. If they win, history awaits them as they would seal their place as the Bundesliga champions for the first time.
