Esteban Andrada Receives 13-Match Ban for Punching Opponent

Esteban Andrada, the goalkeeper for Real Zaragoza, has received a 13-match suspension from the Royal Spanish Football Federation following a disciplinary ruling. The ban was imposed after Andrada punched Jorg Pulido, a defender for SD Huesca, during a second-tier derby match that took place last Sunday.

The incident unfolded late in the match when Andrada reacted angrily after pushing Pulido, who had been shown a second yellow card. This action led to a mass confrontation on the pitch.

As a result of the punch, Andrada received a 12-match suspension, which is compounded by an automatic match ban due to the earlier red card he received. The club has also been fined for the incident.

Andrada has since apologized for his actions, describing the incident as a poor reflection on the club.
