Recreativo Huelva continued their strong start to the Spanish Segunda División RFEF season with a commanding 3-1 win over UD Tamaraceite on Sunday, 20 September 2026, at the Campo de Fútbol Juan Guedes. The visitors scored twice in the first half and added a third after the break to secure all three points in Gran Canaria.

Tamaraceite, playing in front of 1,200 home fans, struggled to contain Recreativo's attacking movement. The defeat leaves them in the lower half of the table, while Recreativo climb to second place in Group IV.

Match Overview

Recreativo started on the front foot and took the lead in the 14th minute when striker Caye Quintana converted a low cross from the right. The same player doubled the lead in the 33rd minute, finishing neatly after a defensive error. Tamaraceite pulled one back just before half-time through a spectacular 25-yard strike from captain Ayoze Pérez, giving the home side hope.

However, Recreativo restored their two-goal cushion in the 61st minute. Winger Pablo Caballero curled a beautiful shot into the top corner after a quick counter-attack. Tamaraceite pushed forward late on, but Recreativo's defence held firm, and the visitors could have added a fourth through substitute Chuli.

Tactical Story

Recreativo lined up in a 4-3-3 with Quintana through the middle and Caballero and Chuli providing width. Their high press caused Tamaraceite problems all game. The home side tried to play out from the back but were repeatedly caught in possession. Recreativo's midfield trio of Álex Bernal, Josiel Núñez, and Antonio Domínguez controlled the tempo.

Tamaraceite's 4-2-3-1 was overrun in midfield. Their only real threat came from set pieces and long shots. The early goal forced them to open up, which played directly into Recreativo's hands. The visitors had 57% possession and registered 16 shots to Tamaraceite's 7.

Standout Players

Caye Quintana (Recreativo Huelva) – The striker was unstoppable, scoring twice and linking play superbly. He now has five goals in six league games.

Pablo Caballero (Recreativo Huelva) – The winger was a constant menace. He scored a wonderful goal and provided an assist for the opener.

Rubén Gálvez (Recreativo Huelva) – The goalkeeper made three important saves, including a one-on-one denial at 2-1, to preserve the win.

Ayoze Pérez (UD Tamaraceite) – The captain scored a brilliant goal and never stopped running. He was the only Tamaraceite player to consistently threaten.

Segunda División RFEF Table Impact

Recreativo Huelva move to 14 points from six matches, climbing to second in Group IV, just one point behind leaders Cádiz Mirandilla. They have now scored 14 goals in six games, the best attacking record in the group. Tamaraceite remain 15th with 5 points, three points above the relegation zone.

Recreativo will look to continue their promotion push when they host San Roque Lepe next Sunday. Tamaraceite face a tough trip to Xerez Deportivo, where they will need to improve defensively to avoid another heavy defeat.
