Seven standout stats as Castellón go top with 2-0 over Deportivo | OneFootball

CD Castellón beat Deportivo de La Coruña 2-0 to move top of LaLiga Hypermotion by one point.

At a fired-up Estadio SkyFi Castalia, Pablo Hernández's side pressed high, Ousmane Camara struck early, and Álex Calatrava doubled the lead after the interval. El Periódico Mediterráneo highlights a display that underscored an ambitious, competitive project. Racing Santander's 2-1 defeat at Ipurua also played its part.

Resolute late defending secured the points and underlined their form.

That surge to first place throws up seven standout stats.

Castellón are outright leaders in Segunda for the first time since the end of 1988/1989, and last shared top spot on matchday seven in 1992/1993.

Their record home winning streak in Primera or Segunda is nine, set in 1941/1942. The current eight equals 1972/1973 and 1976/1977.

Recent sides with at least eight straight home wins include Osasuna, 17 in 2018/2019, Valladolid, 8 in 2021/2022, Granada, 8 in 2023, and Elche, 10 last season. Each won automatic promotion.

Goalkeeper Matthys has not conceded for 570 minutes, a club single-season record across the top two tiers. The previous best was 590 minutes across 1971/1972 and 1974/1975, after two years in Primera.

In this round, pending Real Sociedad B v Málaga, Castellón posted the Segunda's lowest expected goals, 0.23. On Soccerway's model, Deportivo's figure was 0.88.

Under Hernández, Castellón have 46 points from 21 matches, 14 wins, four draws and three defeats, 2.19 per game, a 73% haul. Sustained over a full season, that pace would reach 92 points.
