Leverkusen v Holstein Kiel
Leverkusen waste two-goal lead to draw with promoted Kiel
Champions Bayer Leverkusen scored twice in the opening eight minutes but squandered their lead to settle for a 2-2 draw against visitors Holstein Kiel in the Bundesliga on Saturday.
Victor Boniface slotted in after four minutes to put the hosts in front with his fourth league goal of the campaign.
Before promoted Kiel had any time to recover, Leverkusen struck again, this time with Jonas Hofmann's low drive, to carve out a two-goal cushion following a mistake by Kiel goalkeeper Timon Weiner.
Kiel, however, struck on the stroke of half-time with Max Geschwill's header at the far post and drew level thanks to Jann-Fiete Arp's 69th minute penalty.
Leverkusen are fifth in the standings on 11 points.
