Real Zaragoza\u2019s Esteban Andrada faces a ban for punching Huesca\u2019s Jorge Pulido after being shown a red card.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Real Zaragoza goalkeeper Esteban Andrada faces a long ban for punching a Huesca player in the face, having already been sent off in a match in the second tier of Spanish league football.<\/p>\n

The Argentina international, 35, pushed over Jorge Pulido and was dismissed for the incident on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Andrada then became enraged, running to hit Pulido and sparking a brawl on the pitch in stoppage time of the derby clash.<\/p>\n

Huesca goalkeeper Dani Jimenez and Zaragoza\u2019s Dani Tasende were also sent off in the aftermath, with hosts Huesca holding on for a 1-0 win.<\/p>\n

Andrada, on loan from Mexican side Monterrey, could be banned for up to 12 matches for the punch as well as the obligatory one-match sanction for his red card.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe witnessed scenes unbecoming of this sport and which should never have occurred,\u201d said Zaragoza in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe club strongly condemns what happened in that moment, which has unacceptably tarnished a football match of special importance for our region, something that is unacceptable.<\/p>\n

\u201cRegarding our player Esteban Andrada, the club will analyse the events that occurred and take the appropriate disciplinary measures.\u201d<\/p>\n

Both Zaragoza and Huesca are in the relegation zone and fighting demotion to Spain\u2019s third tier.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
