The goals were flying in Brazil's Série D this weekend! The second round of the massive 96-club championship was an absolute spectacle, delivering a staggering 125 goals across 48 matches. This kind of high-octane action is what makes football the beautiful game, showcasing passion and skill at every level.

The standout performance came from Porto Velho, who secured their second emphatic victory of the young campaign with a dominant 4-0 win over Galvez. Having already kicked off their season with a 5-1 away triumph, Porto Velho now leads the entire competition as the top scorers with an impressive nine goals. Their attacking flair has made them the early team to watch in Group A2.

They are not alone in their perfect start, however. Ten other ambitious clubs have also secured maximum points from their first two outings, setting the stage for a fiercely competitive season. Nacional, Gama, Capital-DF, América-RN, CSA, Juazeirense, Ivinhema, Tombense, Maricá, and Blumenau have all announced themselves as serious contenders in the early running.

This season's Série D is a historic undertaking, being the longest and featuring a record number of participating clubs. The 96 teams are split into 16 groups of six, with a clear path to glory: the top four from each group will advance to a 64-team knockout stage. The stakes are instantly raised in the first knockout round, which features 32 home-and-away ties, with the winners not only progressing but also earning a coveted spot in the 2027 Série D.
