BERLIN - The restart of the Bundesliga behind locked doors on Saturday attracted over six million viewers watching in Germany, a new record for broadcasters Sky, according to specialist website DWDL.de.

In the day's main game, Erling Braut Haaland scored the first German league goal since mid-March to help Borussia Dortmund rout rivals Schalke 4-0 and stay in the title race with Bayern Munich, who play Union Berlin away on Sunday. With Bundesliga matches played behind locked doors in near-empty stadiums, Sky Germany broadcast the Konferenz on its free-to-view Sports News Channel.

When Saturday afternoon's games kicked off, Sky Germany had a market share of 27.4 per cent on their pay-to-view channels and 18.2 per cent on their free channel.
