CD Tenerife has announced the tragic death of its forward, Jesus de Miguel, who passed away on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, at 8:00 AM. The 30-year-old player died hours after being hospitalized following a severe collision with the goalkeeper of the Andorra-based club during a Spanish second-division match.
The incident occurred in the 97th minute of the game, which was part of the 12th round of the season and ended with a 2-2 scoreline. De Miguel was struck in mid-air by Jesus Owono, the goalkeeper for the Andorra team. The violent impact caused an immediate interruption of the match, leaving the player motionless on the pitch before he was evacuated due to a cardiorespiratory crisis.
Initially, medical reports indicated that De Miguel was in a stable but serious condition. However, the hospital in Tenerife later issued a statement confirming that his neurological state had worsened significantly.
