Victor Boniface described his international debut as a "proud moment" shortly after the game. Nigeria entertained São Tomé and Príncipe on matchday six in the qualifiers for the Africa Cup of Nations – and they clocked up an impressive 6-0 victory against the island state. Boniface, recently voted Bundesliga Rookie of the Month for August, came off the bench on the hour mark with the scoreline at 3-0. The Werkself player provided the assist for the sixth goal adding to his tally with the Werkself since the start of the season (seven goal involvements in four games).
Following his imminent return to Leverkusen, Boniface and his teammates will start preparing for the Bundesliga top match away to Bayern Munich on Friday 15 September (kick-off: 20.30 CEST).
Finland, with goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky, were left empty-handed on Sunday night. Following the 1-0 win in Kazakhstan, the Bayer 04 captain and his fellow countrymen suffered a 1-0 defeat against Denmark on matchday six in the Euro qualifiers. The only goal of the game was scored on 86 minutes. That means the Finns lose top spot and are now third in Group H a point behind Denmark and group leaders Slovenia.
Czechia played a friendly in Hungary on Sunday night. A goalless first half was followed by the hosts taking the lead on 52 minutes with the Czechs levelling ten minutes later for the final score of 1-1. Bayer 04 striker Adam Hlozek started for Czechia and played for 83 minutes.
