The first goal of the season was scored by Xabier Etxeita, who scored a 9th minute goal for Elche CF against Girona FC in the early kick-off. The first red card of the season was given to Richi from Girona FC in their opening game against Elche CF. The first hat-trick was scored by Joselu in the match between Villarreal CF B and Gimnàstic de Tarragona.

Fair Play award

This award is given annually since 1999 to the team with the best fair play during the season. This ranking takes into account aspects[2] such as cards, suspension of matches, audience behaviour and other penalties. This section not only aims to know this aspect, but also serves to break the tie in teams that are tied in all the other rules: points, head-to-head, goal difference and goals scored.
