Las Palmas and Tenerife have emerged as early leaders in Spain's LaLiga Hypermotion, both achieving perfect six-point hauls in the season's opening two matchdays. This strong start places them at the top of the standings, awaiting further results from Monday's fixtures.
Tenerife demonstrated their early form by securing a crucial 1-0 victory over Almerรญa, a team considered a strong contender for promotion. The decisive goal came from Enric Gallego, underscoring Tenerife's robust return to the second division.
Las Palmas also maintained their winning momentum, defeating Ceuta 2-0. The match saw a notable display of solidarity as players from both teams wore shirts with the slogan 'Ceuta is not for sale. Ceuta defends itself,' addressing the city's recent challenges with mass migration. Taisei Miyashiro scored the first goal and was instrumental in the second, scored by Manu Fuster, highlighting Las Palmas' ambition.

Oviedo has also failed to secure a win, losing their recent match to Leganรฉs despite playing with a man advantage for most of the game.
