Victor Boniface of Bayer Leverkusen breathed a sigh of relief after VAR intervened to overturn a red card issued during a heated clash with Borussia Dortmund.
Despite conceding an early goal, Leverkusen refused to wilt, with Boniface playing a key role in their comeback. However, a scuffle with Dortmund’s defense resulted in a straight red card for the Super Eagles striker.
To Boniface’s fortune, the referee consulted VAR, and the red card was subsequently rescinded. This fortunate escape spared him from a suspension of at least two matches, which would have been a significant setback for Leverkusen.
Undeterred by the setback, Leverkusen rallied to equalize in the dying moments of stoppage time. This dramatic draw extended their unbeaten streak to an astonishing 45 games across all competitions.
Next Saturday, Leverkusen will look to preserve their undefeated record when they host third-placed Stuttgart in a crucial Bundesliga encounter. CONTINUE READING
