Esteban Andrada Suspended for 13 Matches After Derby Brawl

Esteban Andrada, the goalkeeper for Real Zaragoza, has been handed a 13-match suspension following a violent incident during a derby match against SD Huesca on Sunday. The confrontation unfolded after Andrada was already sent off for a second bookable offense in stoppage time.

In a heated moment, he sprinted towards Huesca captain Jorg Pulido and struck him in the face with a punch, which triggered a mass confrontation involving players from both teams, including Huesca goalkeeper Dani Jimenez and Zaragoza defender Dani Tasende. The Royal Spanish Football Federation (RSFF) confirmed the 12-match ban for violent conduct, which is automatically applied following a red card suspension.

This incident comes as Real Zaragoza remains in the relegation zone after their 1-0 defeat to Huesca. The club has issued a statement regarding the situation.
