The 30-year-old forward collapsed late in the game following a collision with FC Andorra goalkeeper Jesús Owono. The incident happened seven minutes into stoppage time, forcing the referee to abandon the match.

Medical staff quickly rushed onto the pitch and spent more than five minutes trying to revive him. However, their efforts were unsuccessful, and he was taken to hospital for further treatment.
Despite the medical team’s efforts to save his life, De Miguel later died.
