International career

Hernandez made his international debut for Gibraltar in a unofficial match against the Faroe Islands on 11 March 2011, two years before their first official international match, entering as a substitute and scoring in a 3–0 win,[3] and in doing so at the age of 16 years and 36 days, he became the third youngest goalscorer in the history of European international football, official or otherwise, only behind Samuel Johnston (15 years and 160 days) and József Horváth (16 years and 12 days).[4]

Hernandez was first called up to the official Gibraltar senior team in February 2014 for friendlies against Faroe Islands and Estonia on 1 and 5 March 2014.[5] He made his international début for Gibraltar on 1 March 2014 in a 4–1 home loss against the Faroe Islands as a 71-minute substitute. He was called up to the Gibraltar development squad for the 2015 Island Games in June 2015. He scored his first senior international goal on June 9, 2017 against Cyprus.
