Tenerife striker Jesus de Miguel dies after collision in match
The club said he suffered cardiac arrest after the collision, and Spanish soccer authorities suspended Tuesday’s matches in tribute.
- CD Tenerife announced the death of striker Jesús de Miguel, 30, on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, following neurological deterioration after a collision with FC Andorra goalkeeper Jesús Owono during Monday's match.
- The match was abandoned in the 108th minute after Owono's challenge left de Miguel unconscious; paramedics treated the striker for over five minutes before rushing him to hospital, where he suffered cardiac arrest.
- Tributes poured in from Barcelona and Real Madrid, who expressed 'deepest sorrow,' while the Royal Spanish Football Federation postponed Tuesday's fixtures as a 'gesture of respect and solidarity' and UEFA announced a minute of silence.
- Spanish police have opened an investigation into potential involuntary manslaughter, according to reports, while disciplinary authorities are expected to weigh a suspension of eight to 12 matches for Owono under the federation's code.
- While fatal on-pitch incidents are rare, the inquiry will determine if the challenge breached the accepted risks of football, as Spanish law distinguishes between negligence degrees, establishing a high threshold for criminal prosecution.
