Esteban Andrada, Real Zaragoza goalkeeper, has apologized after punching Jorge Pulidos, a Huesca player.
The goalkeeper had already been sent off by the referee and immediately lost control, hitting the opposing player very hard.
After this episode, the reaction of the clubs and the player himself was expected.
Zaragoza's reaction was blunt through a statement on its official website, writes "Gazeta Express".
"In the final moments of the SD Huesca – Real Zaragoza match, held this Sunday at 'El Alcoraz', we were the protagonists of some scenes that were inappropriate for this sport and that should never have happened. These actions do not represent the values of Real Zaragoza nor of our fans, who throughout history have been characterized by nobility, courage and respect for the opponent."
"We are an example and reference for many fans, especially children, who support us in every match and dream of one day becoming like their idols. Therefore, these shameful scenes should never have happened."
"The club strongly condemns what happened in that action, which has unacceptably tarnished a football match of particular importance for our region. This is unacceptable. As for our player Esteban Andrada, the club will analyze the incident and take the appropriate disciplinary measures." /Express newspaper
