A goal in either half allowed Granada to record a 2-0 victory from their home encounter with Rayo Vallecano this afternoon.
The hosts dominated the match from the first whistle and they eventually broke the deadlock with 26 minutes played.
Madrid-based Vallecano failed to clear the lines and the ball found its way into the net via visiting defender Jordi Almat.
Vallecano had a greater attacking threat after the restart, but any chance they had of claiming a share of the spoils were ended when Recio converted from close range with 10 minutes remaining.
The win has moved Granada out of the relegation zone.
