LaLiga Hypermotion after Matchday 2: Tenerife and Las Palmas lead with perfect records; Real Oviedo still winless

With matchday 2 now wrapped up almost across the board (only Girona-Córdoba remains, postponed), it's time for the first season checkpoint: how the promoted sides are settling in, how the relegated teams are taking the hit, who's leading the table and who's taken the lead in the race for the Pichichi. Let's break it down.

⬆️ The promoted sides: one leader, two holding up and one still searching for a win

Tenerife are by far the promoted side that have made the best start: perfect 6 points after winning away at Ipurua (1-3) and at home against Almería (1-0), and already share top spot with Las Palmas. Celta Fortuna aren't far behind: a draw in Cádiz and a stunning performance at Balaidos (4-2 over Andorra) puts them among the 4-point group, top-7 in their La Liga Hypermotion debut. Sabadell are taking another route — unbeaten but haven't scored in two matchdays (0-0 and 0-0): 2 points that feel frustrating given their solid defending, but they need to find the back of the net. And worst off is Eldense, who were thrashed in Almería (3-0) and could only draw at home against Cádiz (2-2): still chasing their first win.

⬇️ The relegated sides: Oviedo can't catch a break, Mallorca hit the brakes

Real Oviedo are the big paradox of the matchday: drew goalless with Granada and then dominated from start to finish against Leganés at El Tartiere (24 shots, over 70 minutes with an extra man after the visiting keeper's red card) and still lost 0-1. One point from six possible and zero goals in two games — that's worrying for a side that was supposed to have an easier time in the second tier. Girona drew 1-1 on matchday 1 and still haven't been able to play matchday 2, postponed against Córdoba. And Mallorca started like a dream (2-0 over Valladolid) but came unstuck against a sharper Granada at Los Cármenes and lost 2-1: from cruising to needing to dig in from matchday 3 onwards.

📊 The table after matchday 2

Worth noting: Girona and Córdoba have a game in hand due to their matchday 2 postponement, so their points tally is slightly "frozen" compared to the rest.

▲RFEF: promoted from 1ª RFEF this season · ▼1ª: relegated from Primera División · Shaded row: Girona and Córdoba, with their matchday 2 fixture postponed.

⚽ The Top Scorer Race, Currently a Four-Way Battle

No one's running away with it just yet. After two matchdays, four strikers are joint-leading with two goals in the LaLiga Hypermotion top scorers' chart — and, oddly enough, two of them play for the same club.

What stands out is Andorra: they're scoring goals by the bucketful (7 in two games, the category's most prolific attack) but also leaking them (5), which is why they've only got 3 points despite having two of the four joint-leaders in the scoring charts. You can follow the full table, updated live, on our top scorers and assists page.

That wraps up our first mini-roundup of the season. Matchday 3 is just around the corner — we'll keep you updated with the standings and match reports on the hub.
