FC Andorra goalkeeper Jesus Owono is enduring his "most difficult days of my life" following the tragic death of Tenerife striker Jesus de Miguel, who passed away after colliding with Owono during a Spanish second division match on Monday. De Miguel, a 30-year-old father of one who joined Tenerife in summer 2025, suffered a serious injury in the incident.
The football world has paid tribute to De Miguel, with a minute's silence held at all games in European competition this week. Owono's club released a statement on his behalf, expressing his deep pain and inability to find the words to cope with the loss. Team-mate Lautaro Spatz defended Owono, stating he "would never intentionally hurt anyone" and was deeply affected by De Miguel's death.
Moments after the incident, the match was abandoned and Owono was sent off. The Equatorial Guinea's football federation president, Venancio Tomas Micha, offered his support to Owono during this tragic time. FC Andorra and Tenerife postponed their scheduled matches for the weekend following De Miguel's death.
