Victor Boniface, Nathan Tella, and their Bayer Leverkusen squad have achieved a remarkable feat, setting a new European club record. The Bundesliga champions secured a late equalizer against West Ham in the Europa League quarter-finals, ending the match 1-1.
Jeremie Frimpong’s 89th-minute goal canceled out West Ham’s opener, allowing Leverkusen to advance to the semi-finals with a 3-1 aggregate victory while maintaining their unbeaten streak.
