Tenerife return to action after death of De Miguel
Tenerife play their first game since the death of striker Jesus de Miguel on an emotional day at the Heliodoro Rodriguez Lopez stadium.
Jesús Owono, goalkeeper for FC Andorra, has been given a 12-match ban by the Spanish Football Federation for a serious foul against CD Tenerife's Jesús de Miguel. Tragically, De Miguel passed away a day after the challenge on November 2nd. The foul led to De Miguel suffering a cardiac arrest and he succumbed to his injuries in the hospital the following day at the age of 30.
Owono was shown a red card for the incident, which referee Manuel Ángel Pérez Hernández deemed as involving excessive force. The 25-year-old goalkeeper has reportedly been deeply affected by De Miguel's death and is now receiving psychological and medical support from his club. Andorra's coach, Carles Manso, has denied rumors suggesting the goalkeeper is thinking about retiring.
