Goalkeeper Suspended 12 Matches for Fatal Collision

FC Andorra’s Jesus Owono has been handed a maximum penalty after being involved in a deadly on-field incident during a La Liga 2 match. The Spanish Football Association (RFEF) disciplinary committee imposed a 12-match suspension on the goalkeeper, who collided violently with an opposing player.

The incident occurred on November 2 during a match between CD Tenerife and FC Andorra in Tenerife, Spain. With the score tied at 2-2 in stoppage time, Owono rushed out of the penalty box to handle a long ball, resulting in a violent collision with Tenerife forward Jesus de Miguel.

Owono’s raised leg struck de Miguel’s chest with excessive force, causing him to lose consciousness and collapse. Despite emergency treatment on-site, de Miguel never regained consciousness and passed away the next morning at the age of 30.
