According to a report by PUNCH on Friday, November 13, 2026, FC Andorra goalkeeper Jesus Owono has received a 12-match suspension from the Spanish football federation following the incident involving Tenerife striker Jesus de Miguel, who died after a collision during a Spanish second-division encounter.

The Royal Spanish Football Federation's disciplinary committee announced the punishment on Friday, handing the Equatorial Guinea international the maximum suspension permitted under the applicable disciplinary regulations.

The incident occurred on November 2 during a league meeting between Tenerife and Andorra. Owono had moved away from his goal and raced towards midfield in an attempt to clear an aerial ball when he collided with De Miguel.

The goalkeeper was immediately shown a red card following the challenge, while the Tenerife forward, who was 30 years old, received medical attention on the pitch before being taken to hospital.

De Miguel was subsequently admitted to intensive care but died on November 3, a day after the incident.

Explaining its decision, the disciplinary committee said its assessment relied on the referee's official match report, which described the goalkeeper's challenge as violent.

The report stated that Owono had struck his opponent in the chest with his leg while using excessive force during an attempt to play the ball.

The committee also acknowledged the fatal consequences of the incident before explaining why it imposed the maximum available punishment.

“The tragic outcome of the incident, resulting in the death of Jesus de Miguel Alameda, is public knowledge,” the committee stated.

It subsequently concluded that the circumstances justified a 12-match suspension, the most severe sanction available under the applicable provision.

Meanwhile, the incident has prompted a separate investigation by Spanish police under judicial supervision to establish the circumstances surrounding De Miguel's death.

Owono, who has received support from FC Andorra and the Equatorial Guinea football community, previously spoke about the emotional difficulties he had experienced since the tragedy.

“These are the hardest days of my life. I struggle to find the words and it is very difficult for me to process anything that has happened,” he said in a statement released by his club.

He also expressed sympathy for De Miguel's family and everyone affected by the loss.

FC Andorra manager Carles Manso said the club would allow the goalkeeper to decide whether and when he wishes to return to professional football, stressing that he would receive the necessary support without pressure.

Meanwhile, Tenerife supporters and players gathered at the club's stadium on Saturday for a memorial service in honour of the deceased striker. His funeral was attended by approximately 400 mourners, including Spain coach Luis de la Fuente and Real Madrid president Florentino Perez.
