Spanish football is in mourning following the tragic death of Tenerife forward Jesus de Miguel at the age of 30. The player passed away after failing to recover from severe injuries sustained during a Segunda Division match against Andorra.
The incident occurred during stoppage time at the Heliodoro Rodriguez Lopez stadium with the score tied at 2-2. De Miguel collided heavily with Andorra goalkeeper Jesus Owono while chasing a long ball, taking a severe blow to the chest and face. He collapsed unconscious on the pitch, prompting an immediate response from medical staff.
