Boniface under investigation for foul gesture

Boniface opened the scoring in the 11th minute before he was substituted 30 minutes later in the 41st minute after Martin Terrier picked up a straight red card.

According to Weltfussball, the Nigerian allegedly made a middle finger gesture to the Stuttgart players after Die Werkself won the trophy after a 4-3 penalty shootout win.

The German football authorities, DFB, have now summoned him to provide answers about the alleged gesture, which is deemed foul and provocative.

Match official Tobias Stieler admitted he did not see the incident, leaving it in the hands of the DFB to investigate, which could put the Super Eagles striker into trouble.
