📹 Football or boxing? Match in Spain marred by shocking assault

The derby between Huesca and Real Zaragoza this Sunday (26), valid for the 37th round of LaLiga 2, Spain’s second division, was marked by a shocking assault.

Esteban Andrada, Zaragoza’s Argentine goalkeeper, had already been shown a yellow card when he shoved Jorge Pulido, Huesca’s Spanish center-back, near the touchline.

After noticing the card and seeing the red being raised, he went after Pulido — who had already gotten back up — and struck his opponent with a punch.

That sparked a mass brawl.

And it led to one more sending-off for each side: Dani Jimenez (Huesca goalkeeper) and Dani Tasende (Zaragoza defender).

Huesca — who even missed a penalty — were already leading 1-0 and got a boost in their fight against relegation.

Both teams are currently in LaLiga 2’s bottom four with five rounds remaining.

The only match from this round still to be played involves Cádiz, who are currently escaping the drop. They will host Las Palmas this Monday (27). 

Racing Santander and Almería are on course for direct promotion.

The third spot will go to the winner of the playoff involving — for now — Deportivo La Coruña, Castellón, Burgos, and Eibar.
