The second matchday of the 2026-2027 La Liga season has reshuffled the cards in the top scorers' standings. Roberto Fernández, who scored twice on the opening day against Elche, remains at the top but is no longer alone. He now shares the lead with Raphinha, Fermín, and Mariano, all three of whom netted doubles on matchday two.
Roberto Fernández still leading but closely followed
Roberto Fernández had opened the scoring in the first game with two goals against Elche. Despite a notable performance against Real Madrid last Saturday, he failed to increase his tally. He remains at the top of the scorers' chart, but now tied with three other strikers. This situation highlights the current competitiveness in La Liga, where strikers battle for every point in a tightly contested championship.
Raphinha, Fermín, and Mariano join the top
Raphinha and Fermín each scored a brace on matchday two, against Elche and an unexpected opponent, respectively. Mariano, less expected to shine, also delivered with two goals for Alavés, securing three crucial points for his team. These performances have placed these four players level on top of the scorers' standings, each with two goals after two matchdays.
A very open start to the season
The 2026-2027 La Liga season is off to a particularly tight start. The opening day fixtures, initially postponed, are being made up this week. This unusual scheduling has created a stretched-out calendar, making each match decisive from the very first days. Observers are already noting the difficulty in predicting a leader so early in the season, given the narrow margins separating the leading strikers.
