The LaLiga 2 star lost complete control during a soccer match on Sunday, April 26, in the Aragon Derby between Spanish clubs Zaragoza and Huesca.
The match erupted into a massive brawl after Real Zaragoza goalkeeper Esteban Andrada threw a punch at rival Husesca captain Jorge Pulido in the 99th minute of the match.
It was a tense battle to survive in Spain’s second division, commonly called the Segunda Division.
Andrada lost complete control with Zaragoza trailing their arch-rivals 1-0 in the dying moments of the match on Sunday 26 April.
The Argentine received a second yellow card for pushing over a Huesca player in stoppage time at the end of a game for the Segunda Division.
He then rushed at Huesca skipper Jorge Pulido and punched him in the face.
The violent ‘hit’ also led to red cards for Husesa goalkeeper Dani Jimenez and Zaragoza’s Dani Tasende.
Andrada, who later realized he was wrong, issued an apology, saying he “lost focus” and is open to any disciplinary action.
While his club, Zaragoza, also issued a statement, saying it “strongly condemns what happened” and will “take the appropriate disciplinary measures.”
Andrada, 35, who has made four appearances for Argentina and has a permanent contract with Zaragoza from Mexican club Monterrey.
