Matchday 26 of LaLiga Hypermotion has broken a record that had been in force for 90 years. None of the eleven teams that have played away from home this weekend have achieved victory, but the most striking thing is that none of them have managed to score. This event had only happened once in the Second Division, in the 1933-1934 season, when only ten teams participated in the competition, unlike the 22 that currently compete.
Leganés, Huesca, Elche, Oviedo, Espanyol, Tenerife, Mirandés, Andorra, Zaragoza, Racing de Ferrol and Albacete are the teams that have played as visitors in this league matchday. None of them have managed to pierce the nets of the rival goal, despite having made, between them, 132 shots, according to Relevo.
LaLiga Hypermotion, in recent years, has been characterized as an inconspicuous competition, in which goals are scarce. In fact, in the eleven games that have been played this day there have only been ten goals, all of them scored by the local teams. This represents another record, since it is the lowest number of goals scored in a matchday in the Second Division, equaling matchday 25 of the 2014-2015 season.
The teams that played their home game this weekend have achieved eight wins. The remaining three matches were tied at zero, so Levante, Eldense and Valladolid did not score either, despite playing at home. Although there were attractive matches between teams from the top of the classification or the Asturian derby, in only two matches more than one goal was scored. In the Racing de Santander-Espanyol, where the Cantabrians beat the blue and white team 2-0, and in the Burgos-Racing de Ferrol, where the Burgos team beat the Galician team by the same result.
The last time no visiting team scored was on matchday 15 of the 1933-1934 season, when ten teams participated in the category, including Atlético de Madrid, Sevilla and Sabadell. The five matches that were played then ended with a local victory. Although the visiting teams did not score, 20 goals were scored; That is, four goals per game, a figure completely opposite to what occurred this weekend where the goal per game was not reached.
In the First Division there was also a day without visiting goals. It was, specifically, on matchday 30 of the 1975-1976 season. At that time, the competition was played by 18 teams, so two fewer matches were held than in the current Second Division.
