Zaragoza's Argentine goalkeeper Esteban Andrada was given a 12-match suspension for punching an opponent in a second-division football game in Spain over the weekend.
Andrada was also suspended for one more match for a red card he was shown before the punch.
The game was in its final minutes when Andrada shoved Huesca defender Jorge Pulido to the ground when he approached the Argentine goalkeeper.

After the referee showed Andrada a second yellow card for the shove, the goalkeeper ran after Pulido and hit him in the face with a powerful right-hand punch.
Pulido dropped to the ground and a brawl between players and staff members from both teams ensued.
Huesca goalkeeper Dani Jiménez was also sent off for punching Andrada during the melee. Jiménez was suspended four matches for the punch.
The suspensions can be appealed.
The 35-year-old Andrada spoke apologetically in the aftermath of the incident.

"The truth is I'm very, very sorry for what happened," he said.
"It's not a good image for the club, for the fans, and especially not for a professional like myself. So, I'm very sorry.
"Throughout my career, I've only had one red card, and that was for a handball outside the penalty area.
"I also want to apologise to Jorge Pulido because we are colleagues, and honestly, it was my fault, I lost focus at that moment, and well, I am here for whatever consequences the league may give me."
Huesca manager Jose Luis was at a loss for words speaking to reporters after the game.
"I can put myself in their shoes, given what was at stake and all, but it's unjustifiable," he said.
"It's ugly. This was supposed to be a celebration of Aragonese football. I'd like people to talk about the match, even though it was ugly, with little play but a lot of hard work."
Zaragoza also "strongly condemned" the haymaker in a statement released after the match.
Huesca won the match 1-0. Both teams are near the bottom of the second-division standings.
