Jose Willian scored a hat-trick to hand Real Madrid Castilla a 3-2 win over 10-man Recreativo de Huelva in the Spanish Segunda Division this afternoon.
The visitors made a perfect start to the match when Willian opened his account after just two minutes, beating Jesus Cabrero in the Recreativo goal.
The hosts responded, however, and levelled things up right on the half-hour mark when Joselu fired home.
Castilla struck at a vital time just before the break, though, as Willian doubled his personal tally for the day to restore his side's lead.
Recreativo's chances of coming from behind again took a blow in the 58th minute when they were reduced to 10 men, Alex Perez receiving his marching orders with a straight red card.
However, despite their numerical disadvantage, the hosts hauled themselves back into the match once again just four minutes later when Joselu netted his second of the game.
They were level for little more than a minute, though, as Willian stole the headlines by once again restoring his side's lead, completing his hat-trick to clinch a 3-2 victory.
