Match Report: Marino 1–2 Arucas CF
Spain TD12 (Tercera División – Group 12) | 10 May 2026

Arucas CF claimed a vital away win over Marino in a tense Group 12 encounter on Saturday, coming from behind to secure a 2–1 victory. The result strengthens Arucas’ push for a playoff spot, while Marino remain deep in the relegation scrap.

Marino Take Early Lead

The home side started brightly and took the lead in the 12th minute. A neat combination down the right flank ended with a low cross that was turned in by striker Álvaro Medina from close range. Marino seemed confident and continued to press, but Arucas gradually grew into the game.

Arucas’ Second‑Half Response

Arucas emerged from the break with greater intensity. They equalised in the 54th minute when midfielder Jorge Santana fired a powerful shot from the edge of the box that took a deflection off a Marino defender and looped over the goalkeeper. The visitors then completed the turnaround in the 72nd minute – a quick counter‑attack saw winger David Suárez race clear and slot the ball past the advancing keeper.

Tactical Battle

Marino’s early aggression gave way to a more passive approach after the interval, allowing Arucas to dominate possession. The visitors’ midfield – particularly Santana and Iker Rodríguez – controlled the tempo and exploited the space left by Marino’s tiring full‑backs. Marino attempted to rally late on but lacked the creativity to breach a resolute Arucas defence.

Key Players

• Jorge Santana (Arucas): Scored the equaliser and was the engine in midfield.
• David Suárez (Arucas): His pace and finishing decided the match.
• Álvaro Medina (Marino): Took his goal well but faded after half‑time.

Table Impact

Arucas moved up to fifth place with the win, now just three points behind fourth‑placed Tenisca in the race for the promotion playoffs. Marino, meanwhile, slipped to 16th – just one point above the relegation places – and face a nervy final month of the season.
