FC Andorra goalkeeper Jesús Owono has been given a 12-game suspension for a collision that resulted in the death of Tenerife forward Jesús de Miguel.

Owono was given the penalty by the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) a week and a half after De Miguel died from contact made during a Nov. 2 match in La Liga 2. The federation said that the punishment was given because the goalkeeper used "excessive force" in the play.

In stoppage time of the second half with the game tied 2-2, a Tenerife player sent a pass to midfield where De Miguel was chasing it in the air. Owono rushed forward near midfield and leaped up, colliding with De Miguel and hitting him in the chest.

Owono received a red card and was ejected from the match. The game was suspended due to the serious nature of the play and De Miguel was transported to the hospital. He suffered cardiac arrest and died the next day at the age of 30. His funeral was held on Thursday, Nov. 5.

Andorra released a statement expressing its condolences to De Miguel's loved ones and Tenerife. The side said it was providing psychological help "to all those who need it" and postponed its next match against RCD Mallorca.

"We know that no words can ease such pain, but we want them to know that we stand by their side and deeply share their sadness," the statement said.

Spain's National Police opened an investigation into manslaughter, per the country's laws for deaths from non-natural causes. Officials said they do not expect Owono will face criminal charges.

Andorra said it is not setting a timetable for the goalkeeper's return. He shut off his Instagram and defender Lautaro Spatz said his teammate has been "suffering" since the incident.

“He is deeply affected by the situation,” manager Carles Manso said. “We will give him the space to feel completely free to decide whether, and when, he might want to return.”
