Spanish Footballer Jesus De Miguel Dies After Mid-Match Collision With Goalkeeper

Tenerife striker Jesus de Miguel has died as a result of injuries he suffered in a sickening collision with FC Andorra's goalkeeper in a Spanish second division match, his club said Tuesday. "We announce the tragic passing, this Tuesday, November 3, 2026, at 8:00 am, of Jesus de Miguel Alameda," Tenerife said in a statement. "No words can ease the pain, nothing can lessen this great feeling of sadness. Our thoughts are with the family, his close friends and Tenerife fans, who today are grieving over this terrible news."

De Miguel, 30, was fouled in the middle of the pitch by Equatorial Guinea international 'keeper Jesus Owono, who had raced out of his goal.

The incident happened towards the end of the match, which was subsequently abandoned.

Spanish media said De Miguel suffered a cardiac arrest on the way to hospital in the ambulance and was resuscitated, but later died.
