The death of Jesus de Miguel of CD Tenerife has shaken Spain and sparked a wave of sympathy even outside the sports world. While Jesus Owono of FC Andorra is being called a “murderer” following his brutal foul, police have now launched an investigation.

On Monday, Jesus de Miguel suffered severe injuries and went into cardiac arrest following a tackle by Jesus Owono in stoppage time of the second-division match. The referee called off the game with the score tied at 2-2. The next morning, De Miguel died in the hospital.

De Miguel is survived by his partner, Maria, and their daughter, Carla, who was born in June 2025. Numerous active and former professional soccer players, clubs, associations, and politicians have expressed their condolences to the player’s family and club.

Fans berate Owono
Goalkeeper Owono is reportedly shocked by the fallout from his foul. The Equatorial Guinea national team player deactivated his Instagram account on Tuesday after being called a “murderer” on social media.

The police have launched an investigation into possible negligent homicide. Authorities in the Canary Islands emphasized that this is a routine procedure under these circumstances.

Games in Spain Canceled
The Spanish Football Federation canceled all games scheduled for Tuesday. De Miguel was born in Madrid and had been playing for Tenerife since last year. In addition, UEFA announced that a minute of silence would be observed before all European Cup games this week.
