Victor Boniface endured another frustrating evening as Werder Bremen were held to a thrilling 2-2 draw by 1. FC Heidenheim at the Voith-Arena.
This result deepens questions about the Nigerian striker’s limited role and what it could mean for his Super Eagles future.
Introduced in the 68th minute, Boniface showed flashes of intent and came close with a late header, but he couldn’t tilt the balance in Bremen’s favour during his brief 22-minute spell on the pitch.
The encounter lived up to its billing, continuing the trend of goal-filled clashes between both sides, 20 goals in their last four Bundesliga meetings.
Bremen looked set for victory after strikes from Grüll (47’) and Stage (78’), but Heidenheim’s bench made the difference, with substitutes Schimmer (57’) and Föhrenbach (88’) rescuing a valuable point for the struggling hosts, who remain anchored to the bottom of the table.
