Jesus Owono, the goalkeeper for FC Andorra, has been penalized with a 12-match ban by Spain's football federation due to a fatal incident involving Jesus de Miguel. The Tenerife striker passed away on November 3 after sustaining injuries during a match. The disciplinary committee imposed the ban following a red card given to Owono for a challenge on De Miguel, which occurred when he attempted to clear an aerial ball.
De Miguel was rushed to an intensive care unit following the collision. The committee's assessment of the incident was based on the referee's report, which noted that Owono was disciplined for violently striking an opponent in the chest with his leg, exerting excessive force while the ball was in play. The severity of the offense and the tragic consequences led to the maximum penalty of a 12-match suspension.
