SCORENigeria Top 5: Victor Boniface undefeated champion, Rookie of Season

This past week belongs to Super Eagles striker Victor Boniface, who was crowned undefeated German Bundesliga champion with Bayer Leverkusen in fine style and scooped the Bundesliga Rookie of the Season.

5.Dele Bashiru

Turkish club Hatayaspor survival hopes in the Super Lig have been enhanced by an all-important goal from Super Eagles call-up Fisayo Dele-Bashiru at Besiktas at the weekend. The 2-2 draw in Istanbul means Hatayaspor only need to win in their final game at home against Rizespor to stay put in the Turkish top flight. The midfielder has now scored seven goals this season.

4.Stanley Nwabali

The Super Eagles goalkeeper put up another Man-of-the- Match performance for Chippa United to be safe from relegation from the South African PSL at fellow strugglers Royal AM. He pulled off three big saves to post his 10^th clean sheet of the season in a scoreless draw on the road. He could not have hoped for a better parting gift for the Port Elizabeth outfit as he soon begins a new chapter in his promising career.

3.Cyriel Dessers

The Super Eagles striker must be proud of his numbers in his first season in Scotland even though Rangers could not topple bitter city rivals Celtic as champions. He hit target in a big win over Dundee, before he followed that up with providing an assist in a thrilling 3-3 draw at third-placed Hearts a few days later. Altogether, he scored 22 goals and made nine assists in 53 appearances for Rangers.

2.Paul Onuachu

The giant striker has certainly put behind him the nightmare he went through the previous season in the Premier League with Southampton. His 14^th league goal at closest rivals Istanbul Basaksehir ensured Trabzonspor will feature in the UEFA Europa League next season. The next poser would be whether he will extend his loan spell at the club or be snapped up by a bigger club who will have to meet his 15 Million Euros valuation by his English club.

1.Victor Boniface

He signed off in super style an incredible debut season in Germany with a goal against Augsburg for Bayer Leverkusen to be crowned undefeated Bundesliga champions. He scored 21 goals and provided 10 assists in 33 appearances in all competitions. He was also named this week as the Bundesliga Rookie of the Season. And there is still the small matter of the UEFA Europa League Final Wednesday, before the German Cup final at the weekend as Bayer Leverkusen seek an unforgettable treble.
