The derby between Real Zaragoza and Huesca, corresponding to Matchday 37 of the Segunda División, ended in an all-out brawl. The main figure in the regrettable incident was Argentine goalkeeper Esteban Andrada, who punched Jorge Pulido, the home side’s centre-back, in the face in the closing moments of the match played at El Alcoraz.
Sending-off and immediate assault
Tensions boiled over when Andrada received his second yellow card for pushing Pulido. Far from heading down the tunnel after being sent off, the goalkeeper ran toward the defender and struck him directly in the face.
The attack left Pulido with a visible bruise next to his eye and sparked a mass confrontation between players from both teams on the pitch.
A chain of sanctions
The referee also sent off Huesca goalkeeper Dani Jiménez for retaliating with punches toward Andrada. The Competition Committee is expected to come down hard over an incident that tarnishes the integrity of the competition in its final stretch.
