The Tenerife forward Jesús de Miguel has died as a result of injuries sustained in a collision with the Andorra goalkeeper Jesús Owono in their second division match.

“From CD Tenerife, we announce the tragic passing, this Tuesday, November 3, 2026, at 8:00am, of Jesús de Miguel Alameda,” the club 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 had a cardiac arrest and was rushed to hospital on Monday. He was challenging for the ball in midfield when he was struck in the chest by Owono during the final minutes at Estadio Heliodoro Rodríguez López.

The 30-year-old De Miguel was taken to hospital and the match abandoned. Tenerife said in a message posted a few hours before his death that his “medical condition has worsened neurologically”.

Tenerife had said in a statement on Monday that he was “stable, despite the severity of his condition”, in the intensive care unit of Hospital Universitario de Nuestra Señora de Candelaria in Santa Cruz.

De Miguel made his debut in 2015 with Leganés B and has played for eight other clubs in Spain, including Tenerife, where he arrived last year.
