FC Andorra goalkeeper handed 12-match ban following fatal collision

FC Andorra goalkeeper Jesus Owono has received a 12-match suspension from the Spanish football federation following a pitch collision that caused the death of Tenerife forward Jesus de Miguel.

FC Andorra goalkeeper Jesus Owono was issued a 12-match suspension by the Spanish football federation's disciplinary committee following a collision with Tenerife forward Jesus de Miguel during a second-tier match. The referee's report stated Owono was sent off for using excessive force while the ball was in play, and De Miguel tragically passed away the following day at the age of 30. In addition to the suspension, the federation decided that the abandoned match will not be replayed, allowing the 2-2 scoreline at the time of the incident to stand as the final result. Meanwhile, FC Andorra manager Carles Manso stated that Owono is currently spending time with his family and has not yet decided whether he will return to professional football following the tragedy.
