Former Argentine player transforms into Mike Tyson by knocking out opponent with a right hook

Esteban Andrada, former goalkeeper of the Argentine national team, recently committed an extremely disgraceful act. He delivered a powerful hook like a boxer, causing the opponent to collapse on the field, sparking a chaotic brawl afterward.

Former Argentine goalkeeper knocks out opponent with a punch

The shocking moment occurred during a match in Spain's second division between Real Zaragoza and Huesca. Real Zaragoza goalkeeper Esteban Andrada "transformed into Mike Tyson" by unleashing an extremely powerful right hook, knocking down Huesca defender Jorge Pulido in the Aragon regional derby. This action puts him at risk of severe punishment.

The incident quickly escalated into a large-scale melee, in which Huesca goalkeeper Dani Jimenez also rushed in and retaliated with a punch to the back of Andrada's head.

A full-force swing, and the opponent falls down

After the match, Andrada apologized: "I deeply regret what happened. That is not a good image for the club, for the fans, and especially not fitting for a professional player like me.

Throughout my career, I have only received one red card, which was for handling the ball outside the penalty area. It was a situation where I lost control and reacted that way.

I sincerely apologize and will not repeat this, as I understand I am a public figure. I also want to apologize to Jorge Pulido because we are colleagues. Honestly, the fault is entirely mine. I lost my composure at that moment and am prepared to accept any punishment from the league."

This ugly incident turned the already tense match into chaos, with both teams being in the relegation zone as the season has only five rounds left.

The prospect of relegation would be a major shock for Zaragoza – a team that last appeared in La Liga in 2013, and also a heavy blow for Huesca, a club that played in Spain's top division in 2021.

Before the punch, Andrada was sent off after receiving a second yellow card for pushing Pulido down. When the defender stood up, the Argentine goalkeeper immediately rushed forward and delivered a straight hit to the opponent's face.

Dozens of players and coaching staff members joined the subsequent clash. On Zaragoza's side, Dani Tasende was also expelled from the field, before Huesca secured a final 1-0 victory. Andrada, 35 years old, has played for the Argentine national team four times and is currently playing for Zaragoza on loan from Club Monterrey (Mexico).

Huesca coach Jose Luis commented: "It's difficult to explain. I think it was a complete loss of control. I can understand the pressure they are under, but that is not justifiable. It's disgraceful. This should have been a celebration of Aragonese football, and I wish people were talking about the match, even if it wasn't good, lacked opportunities but was full of effort."

Meanwhile, Zaragoza coach David Navarro also admitted: "Everything is regrettable. There are limits we must not cross."
