With nine minutes on the clock, Bonaventure notched the first goal despite having a poor first touch which still went past Thibaut Courtois in goal.
The Blue-Black scored their second through the Nigerian after capitalizing on a blunder by Luka Modric as he had time and space to chip the ball over Courtois.
