After 15 years, Abel Hernandez scored another double in Peñarol

The brace from Abel Hernandez that gave Penarol the victory over Danubio was his second in the Oringra jersey: the previous time was 15 years ago.

La Joya opened the scoring against Gaza with a fine definition in the area, leaving a mark all the way and finishing a tip towards the post; He then sealed the game with a touch of the net after latching onto a hairy ball at the near post after a free kick.

The last time Hernández scored twice in a Peñarol shirt was on September 20, 2008, fifteen years ago, when the then young striker scored twice against Cerro Largo in the Apertura championship in an 11-in-the-back shirt. The first came with a wonderful shot from his right foot, which reached the goal of Arakan, and the second was a powerful shot with the left foot from the edge of the area, after a pass from Antonio Pacheco.

After fifteen years and at very different stages of the striker’s career, Abel Hernandez can now celebrate that in his record with Peñarol he has two doubles in official matches, both of which he contributed to the victories of Mirasol’s team.
