Hercules began the season with a 1-0 victory over Espanyol B, a result that elevated early confidence. The Cameroonian forward Ketu delivered the decisive goal, fueling motivation within the squad as they embark on a challenging journey through a difficult schedule and tough regional rivals.
In the weeks ahead, the team will aim to build on that win as it prepares for another important test. The focus remains on solid defending, quick transitions, and disciplined teamwork that can translate into points week after week. The coaching staff continues to emphasize a strong work ethic, game intelligence, and resilience as the base for any successful run in the league.
Ketu begins to showcase his form in front of the Rico Pérez stands, a venue with a storied history for the club. The forward appears intent on using home support to spark responses from the team and the fans alike, creating momentum that can lift the squad in tight fixtures and late stages of the season.
This Sunday at 11.00 am, the blue and white squad is set for their second league match at the Camp Municipal de Formentera. The upcoming clash against SD Formentera presents another chance to climb the table and demonstrate consistency. The team hopes to leverage home advantage on a surface that has challenged them in the past and to translate that advantage into a favorable result for local supporters.
As the campaign progresses, Hercules players will approach each match with meticulous preparation. A victory in this stage would not only strengthen their standing but also send a clear message to rivals: Hercules intends to compete for promotion and grow back into a position of prominence within Spanish football.
The squad understands that every point matters and that the road to higher competition requires collective effort, discipline, and continuous improvement. The atmosphere around the club remains focused, with coaching staff and players aligned toward the shared objective of returning to higher levels of play in the near future.
