The Disciplinary Committee of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) has sanctioned Jesús Owono, Andorra goalkeeper, with a 12-match suspension for his expulsion in the match his team played on November 2 in Tenerife and in which he was shown a direct red card after a harsh tackle on local forward Jesús de Miguel, who died the next day.

The Committee considers that the facts "constitute a serious infraction classified in article 102 of the Disciplinary Code of the Royal Spanish Football Federation, the special gravity of which justifies the imposition of the maximum degree of sanction, that is, twelve match suspensions."

CD Tenerife forward Jesús de Miguel, 30, died last Tuesday, November 3 at the Nuestra Señora de la Candelaria University Hospital, where he had been admitted since Monday night, when he was transferred after the game, to intensive care as a result of the severe blow he suffered during the match against Andorra.

"Broken with pain, with a lump in my throat and unable to believe that this is true, from CD Tenerife we ​​announce the tragic death, this Tuesday, November 3, 2026, at 8:00 a.m., of Jesús de Miguel Alameda," the club reported on its social networks.

The mishap took place in the final stretch of the match against FC Andorra played at the Heliodoro Rodríguez López stadium, corresponding to the twelfth day of LaLiga Hypermotion, when the Tenerife attacker accidentally collided with the visiting goalkeeper, Jesús Owono, in the fight for a divided ball.

The crash forced the match to be permanently suspended in the 108th minute to facilitate the entry onto the pitch of the health services, who treated the footballer on the pitch before immediately evacuating him by ambulance to the hospital.

The Committee considers that the Andorra goalkeeper's collision was "suddenly with his leg raised on an opponent with excessive force used when the ball was in dispute. The player was treated on the field of play, subsequently leaving the field of play on a stretcher. At the closing of the minutes, no medical certificate was presented."
