I ran this test from my mu-plugins.php file:

function check_for_superAdmin() {
    if ( is_super_admin() ) { echo 'I\'m a Super Admin !'; exit; }
}
add_action( 'wp_login', 'check_for_superAdmin' );

juste before testing login and password, you have the action wp_authenticate: https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/wp_authenticate

juste after test and only if logging is successful, the action wp_login: https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/wp_login

and after logging, you can also modify the URL with the filter login_redirect: https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/login_redirect
