Borussia Dortmund scored six past Paderborn to maintain their dominance on the second spot on the Bundesliga points table.

Thorgan Hazard opened the scoring in the 54th minute from a close-range finish. Three minutes later, Jadon Sancho scored his first half of the night with a simple tap-in, and went on to display a shirt with a message that read, "Justice for George Floyd."

Achraf Hakimi scored in the 85th minute to make it 4-1, followed by a last-minute of regular time strike from Marcel Schmelzer.
