The Aragon derby between Real Zaragoza and Huesca in the Spanish second division on 26/4/2026 descended into chaos. The incident occurred late in the match, with both teams battling at the bottom of the league and facing relegation with only five rounds remaining. This immense pressure created a tense atmosphere from the start, characterized by many fierce clashes and few notable scoring opportunities.

The flashpoint came when Andrada received his second yellow card for pushing Pulido down in the penalty area. The referee's decision to send him off seemingly caused the Argentine goalkeeper to lose control. As Pulido stood up, Andrada rushed forward, swung his right hand, and punched the Huesca defender directly in the face, causing him to collapse.

This act immediately sparked a large brawl on the pitch. Players from both teams, along with their coaching staff, rushed into the altercation. Huesca's goalkeeper, Dani Jimenez, also lost his composure, retaliating with a punch to the back of Andrada's head. It took the referee several minutes to restore order.

As a result of the melee, two more players were sent off: Jimenez and Zaragoza defender Dani Tasende. The match ended in disarray, with Huesca securing a 1-0 victory, which helped them escape the relegation zone. Zaragoza, however, dropped to second to last place.

After the match, Andrada expressed deep regret for his actions. "I am very sorry for what happened", Andrada said. "That image is not good for the club, for the fans, and especially not appropriate for a professional player like me. I lost my composure in a crucial moment and reacted incorrectly". He also apologized to Pulido, stating that both are colleagues and did not deserve to treat each other in that manner. Andrada acknowledged his readiness to accept any penalty from the league organizers and affirmed he would not repeat the offense.

According to his career record, this was only Andrada's second red card; the previous one was for handling the ball outside the penalty area. However, this punch could lead to a long-term suspension, potentially impacting his future at Zaragoza, where he is currently playing on loan from Mexican club Monterrey. Huesca coach Jose Luis called Andrada's actions "difficult to justify". "I understand the pressure players face in these circumstances, but there are limits that cannot be crossed. This is an ugly image for football", he stated. Zaragoza coach David Navarro also expressed disappointment, sharing, "It's all regrettable. This should have been a festival of Aragonese football, but in the end, everyone is only talking about what happened off the pitch".
