Story summary

Jesús de Miguel, a 30-year-old striker for CD Tenerife, died on Tuesday after suffering a cardiac arrest during a Spanish second-division match against FC Andorra on Monday. The incident occurred when he was struck in the chest by Andorra's goalkeeper, Jesús Owono, during an on-field collision. After the collision, de Miguel collapsed and was rushed to the Hospital Universitario de Nuestra Señora de Candelaria in Santa Cruz, where his condition initially improved but then worsened neurologically before he died.

Spanish police have opened an investigation into possible involuntary manslaughter, involving prosecutors as well. The match against FC Andorra was abandoned seven minutes into stoppage time after de Miguel collapsed following the collision. His death has left the football community in mourning; Tenerife will open their home ground on Saturday evening to allow supporters to "bid a fitting farewell" and pay respects.

The incident has also affected Owono, who received racist abuse on social media and deactivated his Instagram account as a result of the backlash.
