Zaragoza Keeper Andrada Sent Off for Punching Opponent

In a dramatic finish to the derby match between Real Zaragoza and SD Huesca, goalkeeper Esteban Andrada was shown a second yellow card for pushing a Huesca player, resulting in his dismissal. The incident occurred during stoppage time of the match, which Huesca won 1-0 thanks to a goal from Scar Sielva.

Following his dismissal, Andrada returned to the pitch and punched Huesca captain Jorg Pulido in the face, triggering a mass confrontation among players. This led to further red cards, including for Huesca goalkeeper Dani Jiménez.

Real Zaragoza condemned Andrada's actions in a statement, describing the incident as unbecoming of sportsmanship and pledging to take disciplinary action. Andrada, aged 35, later issued a public apology, acknowledging he lost focus in the heat of the moment.

Huesca's manager Jo Ángel Ziganda criticized the incident as a complete loss of control, while Zaragoza's head coach David Navarro expressed regret over the situation. The defeat leaves Zaragoza in a precarious relegation battle with five games remaining.
