On May 23, 2020, the Bundesliga resumed its season after a two-month hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic. The league's restart marked a significant milestone in European football, with the first top European league to resume during the pandemic.
Borussia Dortmund kicked off the second weekend of the Bundesliga's restart with a 2-0 win at Wolfsburg, leaving them a point behind league leaders Bayern Munich. The win was a crucial preparation for Dortmund's looming top-of-the-table clash against Bayern.
Goals by Raphael Guerreiro and Achraf Hakimi sealed the win for Dortmund, with Guerreiro scoring his third goal in two games to open the scoring in the 32nd minute. Hakimi helped seal the win with a goal 12 minutes from time, assisted by Jadon Sancho.
Meanwhile, Bayer Leverkusen built on their previous win by moving up to third place with a 3-1 win at Borussia Moenchengladbach, who dropped to fourth. Leverkusen's rising star Kai Havertz netted twice, including a penalty, to secure the win.
Second-from-bottom Werder Bremen gained a valuable win in the relegation fight with a 1-0 win at Freiburg, claiming their first victory in eight league games. Midfielder Leon Bittencourt hit the winner in the 19th minute.
