CD Tenerife forward Jesús de Miguel has tragically passed away at the age of 30 following an on-field collision during a Spanish La Liga 2 match on Monday. The striker suffered a cardiac arrest after a heavy collision with FC Andorra goalkeeper Jesús Owono while challenging for a loose ball in the seventh minute of stoppage time, with the game tied at 2-2. He was rushed to the hospital and admitted to intensive care, but his condition deteriorated neurologically, and he passed away on Tuesday morning, November 3, 2026, at 8:00 a.m.
CD Tenerife announced the tragic news in an emotional statement, expressing profound sadness and offering condolences to his devastated family and loved ones. The club asked for privacy during this difficult time. Owono was shown a red card for the high-kicking tackle using excessive force but immediately joined other players in rushing to check on De Miguel after the collision.
Tributes poured in from across the football world, including FC Barcelona, La Liga president Javier Tebas, FC Andorra, and his former club CD Castellón, all expressing deep sorrow and offering condolences to his family, friends, and the Tenerife community.
