Teammate Supports Jesus Owono After De Miguel's Death
During a Spanish second-division match on Monday, Tenerife forward Jesus de Miguel died after a collision with Andorra goalkeeper Jesus Owono. The incident occurred in stoppage time with the score tied at 2-2.
Owono attempted to clear a long ball but collided with De Miguel, who was left motionless on the pitch. Medical personnel provided emergency treatment before De Miguel was transported to the hospital, where he later died.
Following the incident, Owono was sent off, and the match was abandoned. Andorra centre-back Lautaro Spatz defended Owono on social media, stating that he is deeply affected by the tragedy and would never intentionally harm anyone.
The Equatoguinean Football Federation also expressed support for Owono, noting his profound sorrow. Owono has made 47 international appearances for Equatorial Guinea and has since deactivated his Instagram account.
