FC Andorra's Owono Closes Instagram After Tragic Incident

Jesús Owono, the FC Andorra goalkeeper involved in the incident leading to the death of Tenerife striker Jesús de Miguel, has deactivated his Instagram account due to extensive online abuse following the match on Monday. De Miguel collapsed during a Segunda División fixture at the Heliodoro Rodríguez López stadium and died on Tuesday at 8:00 a.m., one day after the match was abandoned.

The referee sent Owono off immediately after the collision, and De Miguel was attended to for over five minutes before being taken to the hospital. Initially reported as stable, De Miguel's condition deteriorated neurologically before his death.

Following the incident, Spanish police opened an investigation, as is standard procedure for non-natural deaths. LaLiga president Javier Tebas expressed shock and pledged support for De Miguel's family and the club, suggesting a potential postponement of their next fixture and a tribute involving clubs from both divisions.

UEFA announced that all matches that week would observe a minute of silence in honor of De Miguel.
