Tenerife striker De Miguel dies after on-field collision

Tenerife striker Jesus de Miguel has passed away following a serious on-field collision in a Spanish second-division match against Andorra. The 30-year-old forward sustained head and chest injuries during a clash with goalkeeper Jesus Owono, who was subsequently shown a straight red card. De Miguel was initially described as being in a 'stable but serious' condition on Monday, but his condition deteriorated on Tuesday morning, leading to his death at 07:00 GMT (08:00 local time).

Club statement expressed profound sorrow over the tragic loss, with the family requesting privacy and respect during this difficult time. Andorra, co-owned by former Barcelona defender Gerard Pique, also expressed their deepest condolences to the De Miguel's family, friends, and CD Tenerife. The incident occurred with seven minutes left in stoppage time, as Owono attempted to clear a long ball and collided with De Miguel.

Medical staff attempted to resuscitate the striker in the ambulance before he was taken to the hospital. Both teams' players were visibly distressed by the incident, with several De Miguel's teammates in tears.
