Dortmund Beat Wolfsburg Ahead Of Title Showdown With Bayern
Wolfsburg’s Austrian midfielder Xaver Schlager vies with Dortmund’s Norwegian forward Erling Braut Haaland during the German first division Bundesliga football match Vfl Wolfsburg vs Borussia Dortmund in Wolfsburg, on May 23, 2020. Michael Sohn / POOL / AFPBorussia Dortmund warmed up for Tuesday’s top-of-the-table clash against Bayern Munich with a 2-0 win at Wolfsburg on the second weekend of the Bundesliga’s restart after the coronavirus-enforced suspension.
Dortmund coach Lucien Favre said the lack of fans’ noise in the stadium helped him give instructions. In Wolfsburg, Portugal winger Guerreiro, who netted twice in last week’s 4-0 derby thrashing of Schalke, opened the scoring in the 32nd minute. England winger Jadon Sancho helped sealed the win when he dribbled at the Wolfsburg defence, then laid a pass off to Hakimi, who fired home 12 minutes from time.“We showed right after the start of the match that we wanted to win,” added Favre.Bayer Leverkusen built on Monday’s drubbing of Werder Bremen by moving up to third place with a 3-1 win at Borussia Moenchengladbach, who dropped to fourth.
Defender Sven Bender unwittingly sealed the win when a free-kick struck his shoulder and flew into the net nine minutes from time.
