Horrific collision leads to match abandonment
The incident occurred during stoppage time in the second half of a match between Tenerife and FC Andorra. With the score tied at 2–2, De Miguel surged forward to contest an aerial ball. Goalkeeper Jesus Owono rushed off his line to intervene, resulting in a violent collision with the home side’s forward.
The impact caused De Miguel to collapse to the pitch, where he lost consciousness. Players from both teams immediately signaled for medical ᴀssistance. Medics provided emergency first aid on the field before the Spanish forward was placed on a stretcher and transported by ambulance to a hospital.
Goalkeeper Owono was shown a straight red card following the incident. Referee Manuel Angel Perez Hernandez decided to halt the match in the 108th minute to allow medical personnel to carry out their duties. The encounter between Tenerife and Andorra could not resume, and the match concluded with the score remaining 2–2.
According to reports from Spanish media, De Miguel suffered a cardiac arrest following the collision and underwent resuscitation efforts by medical staff while en route to the hospital. Despite being admitted to the intensive care unit, his condition continued to deteriorate. The death of the 30-year-old forward has left Spanish football in shock. Numerous clubs, players, and fans have sent their condolences to the De Miguel family and to the club, Tenerife.
