Spanish second division club Tenerife resumed their football activities on Sunday, marking the first return to action since the tragic loss of striker Jesus De Miguel. The match against Ceuta was filled with emotional tributes held both before and during the game. The team honored De Miguel's memory with a standing ovation, a minute of silence, and a video tribute.
Tenerife's fans displayed a banner that read "Jesus De Miguel, 9, eternally blue and white," while De Miguel's teammate Nacho Gil opened the scoring in the 40th minute by holding up De Miguel's shirt for the crowd. A message written under the shirt read "Demi (De Miguel's nickname), always in our hearts." The club had previously postponed a game against Granada last Saturday to allow fans to pay their respects at the stadium, where De Miguel was laid to rest alongside his family three days earlier.
