Victor Boniface‘s brief 22-minute appearance against Heidenheim highlights his ongoing struggle for playing time at Werder Bremen. Is the overlooked Super Eagles forward running out of opportunities?
Victor Boniface’s limited involvement in Werder Bremen’s thrilling 2-2 draw with 1. FC Heidenheim at the Voith-Arena has intensified doubts about his persistent role on the bench and what it means for his future with the Super Eagles.
The Nigerian attacker was introduced in the 68th minute of the match, managing to direct a header on target late in the game, but was unable to help Bremen secure a vital victory on Saturday night.
This encounter lived up to the fixture’s reputation for excitement, with a combined total of 20 goals scored across their last four Bundesliga clashes.
Bremen took the lead twice thanks to strikes from Grüll (47′) and Stage (78′), but Heidenheim’s substitutes Schimmer (57′) and Föhrenbach (88′) responded to level the score, earning a valuable point for the home team, who remain anchored at the bottom of the league standings.
