Nigeria’s Victor Boniface made history on Tuesday night, scoring his first UEFA Champions League goal in Bayer Leverkusen‘s slim 1-0 victory over AC Milan.

Leverkusen, who completed a Bundesliga and German Cup double last season, continue their strong form.
Xabi Alonso’s side previously won 4-0 against Feyenoord in the Champions League and held Bayern Munich to a 1-1 draw last weekend in the Bundesliga.
