Tenerife striker Jesús de Miguel dies aged 30 after on-field collision

Spanish football is mourning the death of CD Tenerife striker Jesús de Miguel, who passed away on Tuesday at the age of 30 following a serious incident during Monday's match against FC Andorra.

The forward suffered a cardiac arrest after colliding with Andorra goalkeeper Jesús Owono in stoppage time. Owono had rushed out of his area to challenge for a long ball and struck De Miguel in the chest. The striker received emergency medical attention on the pitch before being taken to hospital by ambulance.

Despite the efforts of medical staff, De Miguel's condition deteriorated and he died on Tuesday morning, Tenerife confirmed in an official statement. The match was abandoned with the score at 2-2, while Owono was shown a straight red card following the collision.

De Miguel joined Tenerife ahead of the 2025/26 season after playing for several Spanish clubs, including Castellón, where he helped the team earn promotion to the second division. His death has prompted tributes from clubs and football organisations across Spain.
