Andorra Goalkeeper Suspended for 12 Games for Collision that Leads to Player Death
The disciplinary committee said Owono used excessive force, and the maximum sanction was justified after De Miguel died following 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.
