Police investigate medical response after Tenerife striker dies in goalkeeper collision
Tenerife striker Jesus de Miguel died after a collision with FC Andorra goalkeeper Jesus Owono during a 2-2 match in Spain’s second division. Police have opened a homicide investigation, which officials say is automatic for deaths not caused by natural causes, and are also examining the medical response.
Footage from the stands shows Owono involved in an argument with Tenerife goalkeeper Dani Martin after Martin was sent off, then celebrating Andorra’s 88th-minute equaliser before the collision. Former Spain goalkeeper Santiago Canizares said Owono used excessive force but suggested speed and momentum may have caused his knee to rise; an Andorra defender said Owono was deeply affected by de Miguel’s death.
