Cameroon’s Christian Kofane goal drought continues as Leverkusen beat Dortmund

Cameroonian forward Christian Kofane is currently enduring a difficult spell in front of goal, with his scoring touch deserting him at a crucial point in the season for Bayer Leverkusen.

Kofane’s last goal in the Bundesliga came on March 7, 2026, in a thrilling 3-3 draw against SC Freiburg on matchday 25. Since then, the 22-year-old has gone eight consecutive league appearances without finding the back of the net, or even registering an assist.

His struggles continued on Saturday, when he started against Borussia Dortmund on matchday 29. Despite his efforts and involvement in attacking play, Kofane was once again unable to break his drought, extending a run that is beginning to raise concerns.

For a player whose game relies heavily on confidence and momentum, such barren spells can be particularly challenging. Kofane’s movement and work rate remain evident, but the cutting edge that once defined his performances has, for now, gone missing.

Yet, the bigger picture offers some balance. Across 26 league appearances this season, the Cameroonian has still managed to score five goals and provide three assists — a respectable return that reflects his overall contribution despite recent struggles.

At Bayer Leverkusen, patience is likely to remain key. The club understands the natural fluctuations in a young striker’s development, and Kofane’s earlier performances have already demonstrated his potential to deliver at this level.

For the player himself, the focus will be on persistence and composure. One goal could be all it takes to reignite his confidence and kick start another scoring run.

As the Bundesliga season edges toward its decisive phase, Leverkusen will be hoping their forward rediscovers his rhythm soon. Because when Christian Kofane finds his form, he has already shown he can be a difference-maker — and his next goal might just be around the corner.
