The Nigeria international, who missed Leverkusen's midweek draw at Brest due to a car crash last Sunday, netted his sixth league goal of the season in the 30th minute.
Jeremie Frimpong assisted Boniface's strike, which gave Die Werkself the lead.
The 23-year-old forward played for 70 minutes before making way for Patrick Schick just as in the previous league game.
