CD Tenerife Spanish club CD Tenerife have announced their striker Jesus de Miguel has died after an on-field collision during their match against FC Andorra on Monday. The Spanish second-tier team made the announcement on Tuesday morning that De Miguel, 30, had died. "Racked with pain, with a lump in our throats and unable to believe that this is true, CD Tenerife communicate the tragic passing, this Tuesday, November 3, 2026, at 8:00 a.m., of Jesus de Miguel Alameda," the club said in a statement.

Owono was sent off as medics rushed onto the field to treat De Miguel. The game was then abandoned by the referee as De Miguel was taken to hospital and was in intensive care in Tenerife. Rotos de dolor, con un nudo en la garganta y sin poder creer que esto sea verdad, desde el CD Tenerife comunicamos el trágico fallecimiento, este martes, día 3 de noviembre de 2026, a las 8:00 horas, de Jesús de Miguel Alameda.
