Andrada struck Mayoral, smack dab in the face, after being sent off in a nrelegation dogfight between Real Zaragoza and Huesca, causing a brawl of more than 20 people.

The goalkeeper’s got safe hands? Not quite this time.

Esteban Andrada turned a heated derby into chaos after throwing a punch in Real Zaragoza’s clash with SD Huesca in Spain’s Segunda Division.

The goalkeeper had already been sent off in stoppage time after picking up a second yellow for shoving a Huesca player during a tense relegation battle.

But the situation escalated quickly.

Moments after seeing red, Andrada sprinted toward Jorge Pulido and punched the Huesca captain in the face.

That single moment sparked a full-blown melee, as players from both sides started getting into tussles.

Huesca’s Dani Jimenez and Zaragoza’s Dani Tasende were also sent off as tempers boiled over in one of Spanish football’s more intense regional rivalries — the Aragonese derby.

Lost in the chaos was the result itself. Huesca held on for a 1-0 win, courtesy of a penalty from Oscar Sielva. The victory saw them leapfrog Zaragoza in the standings, although both sides remain stuck in the relegation zone with five games left.

The Argentine later apologised, admitting he “lost focus" and saying he would accept whatever punishment follows.

Zaragoza, too, responded strongly, condemning the incident in an official statement.

“We witnessed scenes unbecoming of this sport and which should never have occurred," the club said.

“These events do not represent the values of Real Zaragoza or its fans… We are role models and examples for many fans, especially children… That is why these regrettable images should never have been seen."
