Tenerife owner makes touching promise to Jesus de Miguel's family
The club said it will stand by his one-year-old daughter as donations for the family top £125,000.
- CD Tenerife committed to financially supporting one-year-old Carla, daughter of 30-year-old striker Jesus de Miguel, following his death after colliding with FC Andorra goalkeeper Jesus Owono during a Segunda Division match.
- De Miguel suffered cardiac arrest on Tuesday following the collision, with a post-mortem finding "accidental chest trauma." His girlfriend, Maria Fernandez, and daughter Carla witnessed the incident from the stands.

- Club CEO Antonio Manuel Porro Granados vowed Tenerife will support Carla at least until adulthood, while the family is reportedly set to receive around £300,000 in base compensation following the tragedy.
