Super Eagles striker Victor Boniface celebrated Florian Wirtz's equalizer for Germany during their extra-time 2-1 quarterfinal loss to Spain in the 2024 Euros Championship, according to Soccernet.ng.
After a goalless first half, RB Leipzig star Dani Olmo scored in the 51st minute for Spain, putting them in control of their Euros quarterfinal against Germany.
It appeared that La Furia Roja would hold on to their slim one-goal lead and advance to the semifinals, but Germany's last-ditch effort delayed them.
During Die Mannschaft's late attack, Bayer Leverkusen's Wirtz seized an opportunity after Joshua Kimmich drove down a cross in Spain. Wirtz made no mistake, firing a half-volley from close range and forcing the game into extra time.
Wirtz's goal impressed Boniface, his club teammate, and the Bayer Leverkusen star took to social media to express his pleasure.
Boniface praised Wirtz's unwavering spirit, reflecting Bayer Leverkusen's determination during their 49-game unbeaten streak last season. Die Werkself were well-known for scoring late in games, and Wirtz's goal was no exception.
Boniface commented on his social media page, "Neverkusen 90+ as always."
Unfortunately for Wirtz and his Germany team, his goal was insufficient, as Spain's Mikel Merino scored the winning goal in the 28th minute of extra time, ending Germany's Euro campaign.
