Real Zaragoza goalkeeper Esteban Andrada receives 13-match ban

Real Zaragoza goalkeeper Esteban Andrada has been suspended for a total of 13 matches following an altercation during a derby against Huesca last week. The disciplinary committee issued a 12-match ban for assaulting Huesca captain Jorge Pulido, plus an additional one-match suspension for receiving a second yellow card during the same incident. According to the referee's report, Andrada punched Pulido in the face, causing a hematoma on his left cheek after the goalkeeper was initially sent off for dissent. In the same match, Huesca goalkeeper Dani Jimenez received a four-match suspension for his involvement in the ensuing scuffle. Andrada publicly apologized to Real Zaragoza, the club's fans, and Jorge Pulido on Sunday, followed by a private text message sent on April 28. The suspension effectively rules Andrada out for the remainder of the season, significantly impacting Zaragoza's efforts to avoid relegation. Spanish authorities also imposed a fine on the goalkeeper for his conduct.
