Andorra Goalkeeper Jesus Owono Shaken After Fatal Collision with Tenerife’s Jesus de Miguel

Jesus Owono, the goalkeeper for Andorra, is reported to be deeply shaken following the death of Tenerife forward Jesus de Miguel. The 30-year-old striker passed away on Tuesday morning after suffering severe injuries in a late-game collision during their Segunda Division match.

Collision Details and Immediate Aftermath

During stoppage time on Monday, Owono rushed out from his goal area and collided forcefully with De Miguel. This incident resulted in Owono receiving a red card while De Miguel was left motionless on the pitch. Medical personnel quickly attended to the forward, treating serious head and chest injuries before moving him to intensive care.

Despite efforts to revive him after a cardiac arrest on the field, De Miguel’s condition worsened overnight, leading to his tragic passing the next day. The match was abandoned at 2-2 as the news broke.

Emotional Responses from Both Clubs

CD Tenerife publicly shared their sorrow, stating:

"Racked with pain, with a lump in our throats and unable to believe that this is true, from CD Tenerife we communicate the tragic passing of Jesus de Miguel Alameda. There are no words of comfort; there is absolutely nothing that can alleviate this feeling overflowing with sadness."

Andorra also expressed their condolences:

"With broken hearts and devastated, we want to send our most sincere condolences to the family of Jesus de Miguel, to all his teammates, friends, and to CD Tenerife."

Owono Faces Emotional and Public Challenges

According to reports from Spanish outlet AS, Owono was seen crying and praying in the dressing room after the incident. A close source described him as "a caring, very kind person" with no ill intent behind the challenge. Despite this, Owono has encountered harsh online criticism and felt compelled to delete his Instagram account. Initially planning to reach out privately to De Miguel’s family, the striker’s death altered those intentions.

Upcoming Matches and Suspension Concerns

Owono joined Andorra permanently this summer after a loan from Alaves. He will face suspension due to the red card regardless of his mental state. Andorra is set to host Mallorca on Sunday, but it remains unclear if the team is ready to compete amid the emotional strain. The situation will likely influence decisions by Spanish football authorities regarding upcoming fixtures.
