Tenerife striker Jesús de Miguel, 30, died on Tuesday following a cardiac arrest after suffering severe chest trauma from an on-field collision during a Spanish second-division match against FC Andorra on Monday. The incident occurred in the seventh minute of stoppage time when De Miguel was challenged by Andorra's goalkeeper Jesus Owono, who rushed out of his area to clear a long ball, striking De Miguel with his knee.
