Andorra teammate defends Owono after collision with Tenerife player De Miguel
Spatz said Owono was deeply affected after the collision that led to De Miguel’s death and drew racist abuse online.
- On Monday, November 2, Tenerife forward Jesús de Miguel died following a collision with Andorra goalkeeper Jesús Owono during a Spanish second-division match, sustaining severe head and chest injuries.
- Spanish police launched a routine investigation into the death, though Santa Cruz de Tenerife chief prosecutor Jose Luis Sanchez-Jauregui noted criminal proceedings against Owono are "very unlikely."
- Writing on social media Tuesday, Andorra defender Lautaro Spatz defended his teammate, insisting Owono would "never intentionally hurt anyone" and was "deeply affected" by the tragedy.

- Football clubs across Europe are observing moments of silence to honor de Miguel, who joined Tenerife in 2025, as Andorra provides psychological support to affected players and staff.
