Real Zaragoza faced Huesca on Saturday, needing a point to climb out of the relegation mire. Oscar Sielva broke the deadlock, slotting the only goal and handing Huesca a 1‑0 victory. The atmosphere, meant to celebrate Aragonese football, soured when keeper Esteban Andrada was dismissed and then punched captain Jorge Pulido.

Both clubs remain stuck in the bottom three with five fixtures remaining, turning every match into a survival battle. Zaragoza captain Francho Serrano issued a public apology, acknowledging his role in the fracas. Head coach David Navarro echoed the sentiment, promising to accept any sanction and stressing that lines had been crossed.

Andrada, 35, is on loan from Mexican side Monterrey and has four senior caps for Argentina, making the incident a rare blemish on an otherwise steady career. The red card leaves Zaragoza with no goalkeeper for the next match, forcing a rushed signing. Their relegation hopes now hinge on both discipline and points in the final stretch.

The Spanish federation announced it will review the incident, with a standard three‑match ban for violent conduct likely looming. Zaragoza will have to rely on backup goalkeeper Carlos García for the upcoming fixture, while Huesca looks to build on the win as the drop zone tightens.
