Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso has said he would consider pairing Victor Boniface and Patrick Schick in attack more often.
The two strikers played upfront in Die Werkself’s 3-2 DFB Pokal victory over FC Cologne on Wednesday night.
It was the first time the duo will play together this season.
Schick scored Leverkusen’s second goal deep into stoppage time.

Boniface took the place of Exequiel Alejandro Palacios in the 76th minute.
The Nigeria international then fired home the winning goal in extra time.
Asked after the game whether the two strikers could play more often, Alonso responded: “Yes, that’s an option. We decide what we need every game and if we think that they can link up and understand what the team needs, it’s an option.”
Bayer Leverkusen will be away to Wolfsburg in a league game on Sunday.
