Tenerife striker dies after goalkeeper collision in Spanish second tier
Tenerife striker Jesús de Miguel, 30, died after suffering cardiac arrest from a collision with Andorra goalkeeper Jesús Owono during a Spanish second-division match on Monday.
Tenerife forward Jesús de Miguel died on Tuesday at the age of 30, a day after suffering cardiac arrest following a collision during a Spanish second-division match against Andorra. The incident occurred seven minutes into stoppage time when the match was tied 2–2. De Miguel was challenging for the ball near midfield when Andorra goalkeeper Jesús Owono, who had rushed from his goal to clear a long ball, struck him in the chest with his knee. Owono was shown a straight red card and the match was abandoned. De Miguel initially suffered cardiac arrest in the ambulance on the way to hospital but was resuscitated by paramedics. Tenerife initially reported he was 'stable despite the severity of his condition' in intensive care, but an early morning update on Tuesday said his condition had 'worsened neurologically' before his death at 8am. Spanish police have opened an investigation into possible involuntary manslaughter.
