Goalkeeper Breaks Silence on Tenerife Striker's Tragic Death
- Tenerife striker Jesus de Miguel died in hospital on Tuesday following an accidental collision with Andorra goalkeeper Jesus Owono during the Spanish second division match on Monday.
- Owono struck the 30-year-old forward in the chest at force while clearing the ball, causing cardiac arrest; he was sent off immediately after the incident.
- Owono, an Equatorial Guinea international, said he feels "enormous pain" and is "living through the most difficult days of my life" in a statement released Wednesday.
- Tenerife announced six days of mourning following de Miguel's death, and a minute's silence was held before Uefa Champions League fixtures on Tuesday night.
- Under Spanish law, any death deemed non-natural automatically triggers a judicial inquiry; police confirmed the investigation is "routine" but criminal proceedings are unlikely.
