On Tuesday, November 3, the Spanish club Tenerife announced that Jesus de Miguel, the 30-year-old striker of this team, died a day after a serious collision with the opponent's goalkeeper during the game and suffered a cardiac arrest.
This incident happened in a match between Tenerife and Andorra in the second division of Spain. As Andorra keeper Jesús Ouano left to clear the ball from the penalty spot, his knee was deflected by the Tenerife attacker's chest.
De Miguel fell motionless to the ground after this collision and despite the efforts of the medical staff and transfer to the hospital, he died the next day. The referee stopped the game and showed the Andorra goalkeeper a straight red card.
The Spanish police have opened an investigation into the possibility of accidental homicide in this incident, but the legal authorities emphasize that this investigation is a normal process in the investigation of unnatural deaths and does not necessarily mean that a crime has occurred.
🔸 The European Football Association also announced that there will be a minute's silence in honor of this player before all games in Europe this week. The Real Madrid and Barcelona clubs also expressed their condolences on the death of this footballer.
