Victor Boniface was on target as Bayer Leverkusen beat Hoffenheim 3-1 in the Bundesliga on Sunday.
Also on target was Gift Orban who has now scored in back-to-back in the Bundesliga.
Nathan Tella featured for Xabi Alonso’s side but came off in the 42nd minute.
Boniface was on the verge of leaving the Bundesliga champions for Al Nassr in the January transfer window but the deal fell through.
But, he put that behind him as he fired Leverkusen 1-0 ahead on 15 minutes.

In the 19th minute Leverkusen added the second goal as Jeremie Frimpong outpaced his marker on the right and slotted past the keeper.
Patrik Schick then made it 3-0 in the 51st minute with a volley into the roof of the net.
However, Leverkusen were reduced to 10 men on 61 minutes as Alex Grimaldo was sent off after receiving his second yellow card for a rash tackle.
Orban then pulled a goal back on 62 minutes as he bundled home from a goal mouth scramble.
The win means second-placed Leverkusen are on 45 points and are six points behind leaders Bayern Munich.
