Overview
- The Zaragoza goalkeeper, sent off Sunday for a second yellow, chased Huesca captain Jorge Pulido and punched him, causing a cheek hematoma and igniting a brawl that also saw Huesca keeper Dani Jiménez and Zaragoza's Dani Tasende sent off.
- Real Zaragoza posted Esteban Andrada's apology video and said it will take internal disciplinary steps after calling the act unacceptable and damaging to the club's image.
- Under Spanish federation rules, violent conduct that leaves a visible injury can bring six to fifteen games, and the disciplinary committee is reviewing the case with the ban likely to extend beyond the five rounds left.
- La Vanguardia reports Zaragoza also criticized referee Dámaso Arcediano, arguing two penalties against them shaped the 1-0 loss in a derby between teams fighting to avoid relegation to the third tier.
- Media in Spain and Argentina report Zaragoza may skip the June purchase option for the on-loan keeper from Monterrey, and any severe RFEF ban could carry to Mexico under FIFA rules if he returns.
