Héctor Hernández: From Atlético to Decisive Goal in Brazil
News from Brazil that fills the Rojiblancos fans with pride! Héctor Hernández, a product of the Atlético de Madrid youth academy, has left his mark on Corinthians.
The Spanish striker, with a past in Atlético B and the first team, scored a crucial goal for his team’s 1-1 draw against Bahía in the first round of the 2025 Brazilian Championship.
Hernández, who entered the field in the second half, proved his worth by taking advantage of a cross to score a header in the last minute of the match. This goal not only meant a valuable point for Corinthians, recent champion of the Paulista Championship, but also represented a moment of joy and relief for the player.
