Goalkeeper Owono suspended for 12 matches after De Miguel death
The federation said the maximum sanction was justified by the referee’s report and the fatal outcome of the collision.
- On Friday, Andorra goalkeeper Jesus Owono received a 12-match suspension following his collision with Tenerife striker Jesus de Miguel, who died on November 3.
- The fatal incident occurred on November 2 during a second-division match when Owono collided with De Miguel while attempting to clear an aerial ball near the halfway line.
- Citing the referee's report, officials noted Owono was sent off for "violently striking an opponent in the chest with his leg, using excessive force, while the ball was in play."
- Amid the backlash, Owono stated these are the "hardest days of my life" and retreated from public view after facing chants of "murderer" from supporters.
- Andorra coach Carles Manso stated that Owono will decide if or when he returns to football, while Tenerife held a memorial for De Miguel last week.
