Valle de Egues came from behind to beat CD Huarte 2-1 in the Spanish Tercera División RFEF on 17 October 2026. A late winner settled a competitive Navarre contest, rewarding the home side for a strong second-half performance.

Match overview

CD Huarte started the brighter of the two sides and took the lead midway through the first half with a well-worked attacking move. Valle de Egues responded well, finishing the half strongly and equalising just before the interval to change the complexion of the game.

The second half was a tighter affair, with both teams creating chances in transition. Valle de Egues gradually gained control and found the winning goal with just over ten minutes remaining. Huarte pressed for a late equaliser but could not find a way through a determined home defence.

Key moments

• 31st minute – CD Huarte took the lead after a quick combination on the edge of the box ended with a low finish into the bottom corner.
• 44th minute – Valle de Egues equalised when a cross from the right was met by a firm header at the near post.
• 79th minute – The winner arrived after a sustained spell of pressure, with Valle’s substitute finishing from close range following a scramble in the box.

Tactical story

Huarte’s early control came from pressing Valle’s ball-players and forcing errors in midfield. However, the home side adjusted by playing more directly and using their wide players to stretch Huarte’s back four. That change gave Valle de Egues a platform to build momentum before half-time.

In the second half, Valle’s midfield pushed higher and won more second balls, pinning Huarte back. The winning goal came from exactly that kind of pressure, as a failed clearance was punished inside the penalty area.

Standout performers

Valle de Egues’ substitute made the difference with the winning goal and fresh energy in the final third. Their central midfielder also dictated the tempo after the break, while the goalkeeper made a crucial save late on. Huarte’s forward line looked dangerous on the counter but faded as the game wore on.

League impact

The three points are a significant confidence boost for Valle de Egues in the Tercera División RFEF, especially against a local rival. CD Huarte will be disappointed to have led and lost, but their performance showed enough to suggest they will remain competitive in the coming weeks.
