Jesús Owono, goalkeeper for Spanish club “Andorra”, has been handed a lengthy ban over an incident in which a collision with an opposing player caused the latter’s death.
Fanat.az reports that he has been handed a 12-match suspension by the Royal Spanish Football Federation.
After investigating the incident, the Disciplinary Committee ruled that the goalkeeper’s actions had been “excessively aggressive and inappropriate for the match situation”. In addition to the individual sanction, league officials announced plans to hold formal consultations with the Referees’ Committee to explore tougher measures aimed at preventing similar dangerous collisions in future.
The incident occurred during the Spanish Second Division match between “Tenerife” and “Andorra”. “Tenerife” player Jesús de Miguel suffered a cardiac arrest following a collision during the game.
The 30-year-old received medical treatment at the scene and was taken to hospital. However, despite doctors’ efforts, he died in hospital.
Jesús de Miguel had been playing for “Tenerife” since the summer of 2025. He had also represented several other Spanish clubs during his career.
