Quick Summary

The Spanish football federation's disciplinary committee has issued a 12-match suspension to FC Andorra goalkeeper Jesus Owono following a violent challenge that caused the death of Tenerife forward Jesus de Miguel. The incident occurred during the closing stages of a second-tier match on November 2, where the referee reported Owono used excessive force to strike the opponent in the chest. The federation ruled that the 2-2 draw will stand rather than replaying the abandoned game to avoid resuming play at the moment of the tragedy. Manager Carles Manso stated that Owono, who expressed "enormous pain" over the death, is currently with his family and has not yet decided if he will return to professional football.
