Watch the collision that led to De Miguel’s death

CD Tenerife striker Jesús de Miguel suffered a cardiac arrest after colliding with goalkeeper Jesús Owono, from which he could not recover.

The match against FC Andorra on November 2, 2026, was abandoned seven minutes into stoppage time after De Miguel collapsed following a collision with the visiting goalkeeper.

With the ball near the halfway line and a possible counter-attack developing, De Miguel ran forward in an attempt to reach it first.

Owono also rushed out of his area to clear a long ball, and the two players collided. The goalkeeper’s knee struck De Miguel in the chest. The striker appeared to be in pain, but his teammates initially thought he had suffered a routine injury.

He later lay motionless on the pitch, prompting his teammates to call for medical assistance.

Owono had begun walking away from the scene but rushed back to De Miguel when he realised the situation was serious.

Medics quickly attended to the 30-year-old on the pitch and spent more than five minutes trying to revive him.

However, he could not be revived and was taken to hospital for further treatment. Despite efforts to save him, he died.
