Zaragoza goalkeeper Andrada hit with 13-game ban for punch on Huesca skipper
Real Zaragoza goalkeeper Esteban Andrada has been hit with a 13-game ban for punching Huesca captain Jorge Pulido in Sunday’s Segunda Division clash between the Aragonese rivals.
Andrada lost his cool after receiving a second yellow card for pushing Pulido and ran back to him, striking him in the face, sparking a wild melee that resulted in the dismissals of Huesca goalkeeper Dani Jimenez and Zaragoza left-back Dani Tasende.
The disciplinary committee of the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) took a dim view of Andrada’s actions and today handed the 35-year-old a one-game ban for his sending-off, plus another 12 for the act of violence.
