ALICANTE. The Hercules closed this Tuesday with a victory by one goal to two in its second preseason friendly.

The second of them allowed the team to Ruben Torrecilla neutralize the equalizer, scored for the Aguileño team by Sergio Chinchilla in 62.
That goal by the Argentine Coscia is the second scored by a Hercules centre forward in the two friendlies he has had this summer, since the goal that won the match against Villarreal B last Friday was the work of Marcos Mendes.
