A heated moment unfolded on the pitch when Nigerian striker, Victor Boniface, and Argentine midfielder, Emi Buendía, got into an argument after both attempted to take the same shot during Bayer 04 Leverkusen’s last match against Frankfurt on Saturday.
Buendía initially attempted a shot inside the box but narrowly missed.
As he went for a second attempt, the ball moved into Boniface’s path, leading both players to react simultaneously and attempt the shot.
Boniface ultimately took the strike, but it was blocked by an opposition defender.
Some fans criticised Boniface for not prioritising teamwork.
X user, Serah Ibrahim (@TheSerahIbrahim) stated, “Boniface was at fault here. Never fight with your teammates during the game. Play as a team.”
Similarly, TalkwithNnene (@NoWhere2Hid) remarked, “Boniface is not being a good team player. Never fight your teammates! Wait till the match is over and have a conversation about it. That display was so unnecessary.”
