The goalkeeper of the Spanish club Real Zaragoza, Esteban Andrada, was punished for his unsportsmanlike behavior. The Spanish Football Federation backed the 35-year-old Argentine for 13 matches: 12 matches were to be missed for hitting a opponent, and another one was automatically punished for the red card.

The incident sparked a week-long tense derby between another Spanish division against Huesca. At the end of the second half, Andrada took off his friend’s card and left the field. However, instead of this effort, the goalkeeper ran up to the captain of the super teams, Jorge Pulido, and attacked his blow.

This little thing has provoked a mass dispute between the teams. After the strike, the referee selected two more players: reserve goalkeeper Huesca Dani Jimenez and Zaragoza goalkeeper Dani Tacende. Years ago, Esteban Andrada publicly admitted his wrongdoing and expressed regret for the incident:.

" This creates a bad image for the club, for the patients, and especially for a professional like me. So I will ask you again. Throughout my entire career, I have only taken off one red card, and then with my hand outside the penalty area,” said the Argentinean.

He also expressed special anger towards the injured grave:.

“I want to get in front of Jorge Pulido, because my colleagues, and, frankly speaking, it’s my fault. At that moment I lost concentration and control over myself. “I’m here now to accept any sanctions that are taking a toll on me, and not to risk it,” the gravel confessed..

Real Zaragoza's management promptly responded to the scandal. In its official weekly statement, the club voted that it would resolutely condemn what happened, and vowed to live until the end of the latest internal disciplinary proceedings..

The match itself ended with Zaragoza defeating Rahunka 0:1. This result leaves the team in the zone ahead of their weekly opponents from Ueska.
