Héctor Hernández: From 'Rojiblanco' to Hero in Brazil
Héctor Hernández, a player from Canary Islands formed in Atlético de Madrid’s youth academy, continues to prove his worth in Brazilian football. The forward, now playing for Corinthians, scored a crucial goal in the last minute of the match against Bahía, securing a valuable away draw in the first round of the 2025 Brazilian Championship.
Hernández, who arrived at Corinthians in August of last year, entered the field in the 61st minute and connected with a precise header from a cross by Breno Bidon, unleashing euphoria among the Corinthians fans.
This goal not only marked his debut goal with the team but also salvaged an important point in a difficult match. The forward, who debuted with Atlético de Madrid in 2013 in a Copa del Rey match, once again demonstrated his strong mentality and his ability to seize opportunities.
Aware of the competition in the team, with players of the caliber of Memphis Depay, Yuri Alberto, Talles Magno and Ángel Romero, Hernández always remained prepared to contribute his best. ‘I’ve taken a weight off my shoulders that I’ve had for a long time and I’m very happy,’ declared the forward. Despite key absences in the team, Corinthians, recent champion of the Campeonato Paulista, showed their fighting spirit and achieved a valuable draw thanks to the goal of Héctor Hernández.
