Boniface Assisted Njinmah Against Moncheng

Nigerian forward Victor Boniface is quickly making a name for himself in German football after joining Werder Bremen this season. The powerful striker, known for his pace, strength, and creativity in attack, has settled impressively into his new team, proving to be a valuable addition. Having previously shone in the Belgian Pro League and European competitions, Boniface’s move to the Bundesliga has been widely seen as a step up in his career—and he is already repaying Werder’s trust with strong performances. 

On Saturday afternoon, Werder Bremen traveled to the Borussia-Park, home of Borussia Mönchengladbach, for a crucial Bundesliga encounter. The atmosphere was electric, with thousands of home fans expecting a strong showing from their team. Instead, they witnessed a dominant performance from the visitors, as Werder Bremen ran out 4-0 winners in one of their best displays of the season.

Boniface played a central role in the victory, not only with his presence up front but also with his intelligence in link-up play. The Nigerian striker was instrumental in breaking down Gladbach’s defense, most notably providing a fine assist for German forward Justin Njinmah, who opened the scoring with composure and precision. The goal set the tone for the rest of the match, giving Werder full control early on.

Werder Bremen’s attacking unit worked in perfect harmony throughout the game. Alongside Njinmah’s opener, Mbangula, Jens Stage, and Romano Schmid all got on the scoresheet, each finishing off well-crafted team moves. The diversity of scorers highlighted the team’s growing confidence and balance, with multiple players stepping up to make a difference.

Boniface’s assist was particularly important, as it showcased his ability to adapt to the Bundesliga’s intensity and provide for his teammates rather than only chasing personal glory. His movement off the ball stretched Gladbach’s defense, while his physicality gave Werder a constant outlet in attack. It was a complete performance from a striker who is determined to establish himself as one of the league’s rising stars.
